“We had a meeting with the UFC yesterday,” he said. “They hired someone for anti-doping testing, so it looked pretty good. I don\u2019t have much to tell about it, they didn\u2019t tell enough about the program about what they want to do, but [Novitzky] is a very reliable man in the business. He\u2019s the one that caught [Olympic medalist] Marion Jones. So it looked really good so far, but like I said, I don\u2019t have enough to tell right now, and I\u2019m not a specialist. I need to see and ask a specialist what they think about it.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“Rush” wanted to change the sport for the better and felt like sitting from the sidelines would be the best way to do that. Oddly enough, it worked! UFC implemented a rigorous testing program for their athletes which includes random tests. When he was asked of his thoughts on the matter at Friday’s fan Q&A, GSP responded positively.<\/p>\n
