The UFC and the United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA) aren’t playing around. Several fighters have come forward, sharing that they’ve been randomly tested in the wake of the new drug policy.
The most recent? UFC lightweight Dustin Poirier.
The fighter took to Twitter to share that USADA showed up at his gym in the morning and tested him.
Check it out!

He also posted a follow up tweet, praising the efforts and condemning those who use PEDs or steroids.
Let's catch these cheaters!!

There have yet to be any big findings released from these tests, but do you expect that several fighters might start getting popped with the new, more rigorous testing going on?
Poitier seems pretty pumped for it, and a lot of other fighters have seemed happy with the changes. A cleaner UFC might be right around the corner.
What do you guys think, sound off in the comments!
