The post-fight drug tests for last month’s UFC 119 card in Indianapolis have come back clean.
A total of nine fighters were tested following their Sept. 25 bouts at Conseco Fieldhouse, and all nine tested negative for both illegal drugs of abuse and anabolic steroids. MMA Fighting was given the results Tuesday by Andrew Means, director of the athletic division of the Indiana Gaming Commission.

The Indiana Gaming Commission has handed out medical suspensions to 10 fighters from Saturday’s UFC 119 card at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Main event fighter Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic received a 180-day suspension, plus an indefinite suspension until he passes a head CT-scan. Filipovic was knocked out by Frank Mir with a knee to the chin with just about a minute left in their fight.
Also receiving a 180-day suspension with an additional indefinite suspension until clearing a head CT-scan was former welterweight champion Matt Serra. Serra dropped a unanimous decision to hometown favorite Chris Lytle in a rematch from their fight on the Season 4 finale of “The Ultimate Fighter” four years ago.

Thousands of fighters grind their way through regional promotions with the hope of one day getting a call from the UFC. For most, that call never comes.
For Steve Lopez, of South Bend, Ind., the call came a year ago to take a short-notice fight against Jim Miller at UFC 103. And it can be reasonably assumed that the daydream of winning his debut and starting the UFC ladder-climb went through his head.
He certainly couldn’t have expected the outcome of his fight against Miller. Throwing an ordinary, everyday jab, Lopez dislocated his left shoulder. His verbal submission came instantly, as did the groans from the fans in Dallas when they saw the obvious separation on the replays.

Pat Barry raised the bar when it comes to showing respect for an opponent at UFC 115 in June when he stopped in the middle of the fight to hug Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic.
As an MMA fan-turned-fighter, Sean McCorkle makes his UFC debut Saturday at UFC 119 in Indianapolis. And the heavyweight admitted he’ll have the same fan-like butterflies for his fight against Pride and K-1 veteran Mark Hunt that Barry said he experienced against Cro Cop.
“I honestly don’t think that I can (contain my excitement),” McCorkle said. “As ridiculous as it sounds, I’m excited just to meet him. I’ve always been a fan, even before I ever considered fighting, and I hope that he wins every fight in his career from here on out. Just not his fight against me.”

All eyes were on Matt Mitrione.
The former NFL and all-Big Ten Conference lineman at Purdue had already been labeled a rat by his “Ultimate Fighter” housemates for spilling his team’s planned matchups to the opposition. He had been called out by his coach, Rashad Evans, for being merely sore and not injured. And then there were the voices in his head (which he has said after the fact was just an act to alleviate boredom).
Against Scott Junk in a preliminary fight on TUF 10, Mitrione threw kicks and punches with wild abandon. Near the end of the first round, it was clear he had already used up most of his energy. He won a majority decision in a fight that was a mashup of ugly and fun.
A year later, Mitrione is 2-0 in the UFC with a knockout win over Marcus Jones on the TUF 10 live finale last December and a TKO of Kimbo Slice at UFC 113 in May. But it was the fight with Junk that helped make a different voice go off in his head. It was a voice that told him to slow up a little, and Mitrione said that’s the most important thing he’s learned since leaving the TUF house.
