The USADA is back at it again! They regularly visit UFC fighters to test them for banned substances and to keep the fighting game fair and square. Further, with fighters accusing each other of being on prohibited medications and the fans becoming more aware of such practices, it becomes even more important for the athletes to take these tests.

There are several MMA fighters who have failed such tests and had to bear the brunt of their fans. Thus, Petr Yan is taking all the right steps.

The USADA tested Petr Yan once again this year (They also visited him in January). The Russian fighter shared this on his Instagram story. Posting a picture of the heavy testing kit, Yan wrote, “Usada you crazy.”

Getting tested is definitely a good thing for the fighter; especially after his rival, Aljamain Sterling has claimed that the Russian was using PED. Hence, ‘No Mercy’ taking the tests and coming out clean looks like a good thing for their upcoming UFC 273 title fight.

Yan and ‘Funkmaster‘ fought at UFC 259, but the bout went a way neither of the fighters would have imagined. As Yan got disqualified for throwing an illegal knee, Sterling became the new UFC bantamweight champion.

However, Sterling and fans did not seem happy with how everything panned out. Hence, a rematch has been pending for a long time.

Both the fighters, who have been firing shots at each other on social media, will face off in the co-main event at UFC 273. The bout will also mark Sterling’s first title defense. Further, the rematch will be a good way to see who actually deserves to sit on the bantamweight throne.

UFC 273 will feature Alexander Volkanovski versus Chan Sung Jung as the main event. Thus, UFC fans are in for a treat with some big fights during the company’s April PPV offering.
