USADA must be trying to make up for lost time.
The UFC’s anti-doping partner has drug tested Brock Lesnar five times since his name was put in the program two weeks ago, according to the USADA website.

“I’d expect there are even more to come as well before UFC 200,” Novitzky said.
The results of those tests have yet to come back.
