Fighters from Saturday’s “Strikeforce: Houston” event did not undergo typical fight-night drug testing.
The Aug. 21 event, held at the Toyota Center in Houston, fell under the regulatory oversight of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which typically doesn’t conduct testing.
After the show, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker told MMAjunkie.com that the organization didn’t request testing or implement its own.
Just about every major state commission (including those in Nevada, Ohio, New Jersey and California) routinely tests some event competitors, though certain commissions test all fighters while others test only a few.
