The Nevada State Athletic Commission recently informed MMAmania.com that all 12 of the fighters randomly tested for drugs on the UFC 81: “Breaking Point” fight card on February 2 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, came back negative.

Here’s the list:

* Timothy Sylvia
* Antonio Nogueira
* Brock Lesnar
* Frank Mir
* Nathan Marquardt
* Jeremy Horn
* Rob Emerson
* Tim Boetsch
* Tyson Griffin
* Marvin Eastman
* Ricardo Almeida
* Chris Lytle

Fighters are tested for banned substances such as performance-enhancing anabolic steroids, as well as recreational drugs like marijuana and cocaine.

There’s no tried and true reason behind the selection process — six fighters were not required to submit samples for testing. However, it’s customary that state athletic commissions screen the marquee fighters at the very least.
