So, what's "random drug testing" mean anyway? It may not be nearly as random as some people think.
Chris Weidman is among a few fighters that have complained recently that, while the UFC has apparently started a random drug testing process, they aren't hearing about themselves or fighters they know getting tested yet. To hear UFC's VP of Athlete Health and Performance, Jeff Novitzky, tell it, that may be because they're passing the "smell test." Novitzky recently appeared on an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience to go in depth on the UFC's new drug testing program and Novitzky had a lot to clear up when it came to just how "random," random drug testing is (transcription via MMAJunkie).
