And no news is good news, especially on the illegal / banned substances front.

Results from the pre- and post-fight drug tests, which include performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) such as steroids and drugs of abuse like cocaine and marijuana, among others, all returned negative for the entire pay-per-view (PPV) card, according to MMA Fighting.

In addition, main event participants, featherweight champion Jose Aldo and top contender Chad Mendes, along with co-headliners Phil Davis and Glover Teixeira, were all subjected to more enhanced blood testing (HGH and EPO), which also came back clean.
