Every athlete that's on the Philippine card is going to be giving blood work when they get there. Test hot, passport confiscated in country

No, but that's why a couple of his replacement that were offered won't go https://twitter.com/phillies4peat/status/783810873978556417 …

Unable to secure a replacement opponent in time for next week’s UFC Fight Night 97 headliner, UFC officials have elected to scrap the event.
The promotion today announced that following UFC Hall of Famer B.J. Penn’s decision to withdraw from a planned contest with Ricardo Lamas, it has elected to call off the entire card.
MMAjunkie confirmed with a UFC official that the remaining 19 fighters on the card all will be awarded their contracted show money despite not competing.

Hmm.... would be surprised if that actually played a part in the decision. Sucks though, I was REALLY confident on Ali/Hori going the distance, now I have a bunch of broken parlays that were pretty important to me.Honestly think this is a good call by the UFC, not worth the repercussions of a single fighter testing positive with that 'I'm going to slaughter people who take drugs' nutjob in charge of the country.
