The UFC just announced they will be implementing a year round out of competition testing policy in a few months for all fighters under contract. About time. There's something like a 25% fail rate on out of competition tests recently but just a 1% fail rate on tests administered on the day of the fight.
Potential two year bans for first offence. 9 months is the usual now which is decided by the state athletic commissions and usually only leads to a fighter missing one fight (or possibly none at all).
