HOUSTON – 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. The commission typically doesn’t conduct testing despite regulating more MMA events than 74 of North America’s 76 athletic commissions in 2009.
After the show, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker told MMAjunkie.com that the organization didn’t request testing or implement its own.
