UFC Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance (i.e. UFC drug czar) Jeff Novitzky appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience to talk all things UFC and doping. Among many talking points, Rogan asked about the “randomness” of the UFC’s testing. Novitzky’s response (transcribed by MMA Junkie; appears around the 2:13:00 mark in the video):
“It’s not random testing; it’s intelligent testing. USADA’s not going to say, ‘Hey, we’re going roll the dice and whoever comes up …’ They’re going to look on everything, from tips that they may get – hell, they’ll even look at physical appearances of athletes.
