UFC Responds To Allegations Of Drug Test Cover Up, Bonuses, Extended Ronda Rousey - Holm Promo
- We posted the Ronda Rousey UFC 193 promo that has received almost universal acclaim this weekend, but that ended up not being the complete presentation. As it turns out, the company had a version produced that also highlighted world champion boxer Holly Holm. You can see that video above.
- UFC responded to a Deadspin report of a shaky drug test from Vitor Belfort that came to light from 2012 after UFC 192 Saturday night.
"I think one of the things to keep in mind with this particular topic is, any suggestion or inference that there was a coverup in regards to that was categorically false," said Dave Sholler, UFC public relations head.
"That period of time with TRT is one that was tricky for everyone: For the UFC, for athletic commissions for athletes alike. I think when everyone came to a conclusion it didn't have a place in the sport and was outlawed in 2014, we were quick to make sure that we followed suit, as Nevada has said," said Sholler.
- Speaking of UFC 192, Daniel Cormer vs. Alexander Gustafsson took home $50,000 each for earning "Fight of the Night" honors. Albert Tumenov and Adriano Martins also received $50,000 for the two "Performance of the Night" bonuses.
