When it comes to the UFC’s implementation of USADA, it’s definitely changed the sport. Many of the fighters on the roster are tested much more than others, but there are a few that were tested exponentially more than everyone else.  In a recent interview, the head of the UFC’s drug testing program, Jeff Novitzky, revealed who the most drug tested fighters of all time are.

To no surprise, Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor, two athletes who have never failed a drug test are now the most drug tested fighters in history.

They got tested a bunch of times ahead of their 2017 crossover boxing mega fight.

The UFC executive revealed the news when he was on Joe Rogan’s podcast earlier this week.

Check it out:

“Floyd does this for all his fights. He basically hires USADA to do testing.”

“It’s not the same as the UFC program where you’re subject to testing year round. In boxing, once the fight is made, USADA then comes in and does collecting. So it depends on how far out the fight was made.”

“Conor and Floyd signed that contract… was it seven weeks out maybe? They were each tested 16 times in that seven weeks and I guarantee you they are the two most tested athletes in that short period of time ever in the history of anti-doping.”

“So not only was it a an incredibly cool event, but I think incredibly cool and clean for the fans to know how out of the way those two guys went to ensure that that fight was fair and clean. They don’t get enough credit for that.”
