This Tuesday afternoon, the main athletes who will fight in the UFC 146 were gathered in Las Vegas for a press conference, held to announce the sale of tickets for the event.
Taking advantage of the presence of six UFC heavyweights, the executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) Keith Kizer submitted them all to an anti-doping test. The fighters were taken by surprise.
Junior Gypsy, alistair overeem, Cain Velazquez, Frank mir, Roy Nelson e Antonio Pezão had to provide urine samples for evaluation of drugs of abuse and performance optimizers.
The test served as one of the two random exams that Overeem needs to undergo until the day of the event, which will take place on May 26, in Las Vegas. These exams were defined when the Dutchman received a provisional license to fight at UFC 141, an event that marked his UFC debut, when he won Brock Lesnar.
