- [Mir vs. Dos Santos] came together only because Alistair Overeem tested positive for testosterone. How devastating was that to your sport?
"The steroid, [performance-enhancing drug] thing affects the whole sport. The key is to make sure these guys never get on it, because once they do, they change. The problem with Overeem is that I want to sit in a room with him man to man and believe him. He told me before he ever fought for us, 'Don't worry, I'm the most tested athlete in sports.' But I think we have about 42 fights a year . . . you have a guy or two popping [positive tests] here and there, that's a pretty good ratio."
Do you want to increase testing?
"Yes. We're going to do our own testing, order these guys into [a lab]; we're sorting it out now. You have to do this to save the sport. You can't have these guys fighting on this stuff." LA Times Most of the Q&A is about the ratings on FOX but this part at the end stuck out a bit more. | |
