Surprise! Chris Weidman Randomly Drug Tested Ahead Of Vitor Belfort Fight At UFC 187
Just got a ring on my door bell at 6:50 am.. Ended up being the Nevada state athletic commission. Now..I have 2 kids and a pregnant wife so usually I would be pissed someone showing up like that but this is worth the inconvenience. They took blood and urine. First time being tested like that since I got in the sport. Really excited that they are starting to test fighters like this. Hope this really cleans up the sport!! #cleanathlete
Chris Weidman posted the news to Facebook that he was singled out by Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) for his upcoming fight against Vitor Belfort at UFC 187 on May 23 in Las Vegas (that's twice if you're counting). The "All American" was asked to provide a urine and blood sample -- something also required of "The Phenom" -- to guarantee the legitimacy of their 185-pound title fight. Let's hope this round of testing ends better than the last one.
