Either the UFC knows (therefore lies) or they don't want to know

Regarding the latter; What you don't know cant hurt you.

The UFC may know of these results and just sit quiet and dont allow them to get out until afterwards. Or they may even choose to have these labs/commissions hold off on reporting these test results to them until later just in-case they are unfavorable results Not sure what to believe, but either way is dishonest business, but of course favorable business (profitable) for them.

I have began to wonder regarding these last PPV events that if the main attractions (fighters) weren't the main event fighters would the UFC have conveniently found out about these results AFTER the events. Each of these resent positive test had been administered/drawn a good month before the fight. And in the same have taken a month to be reported. I'm no lab technician or medical expert, but I have to wonder how long does it take for these samples to be tested and reported. I mean do you believe this process takes a month? I know when I have my annual physical I find out my blood and urine sample results the following week.

I believe what it amounts to is business (profits). There is no revenue made in cancelled PPV events due to loss of main event/attractions. In fact I'd believe that situation would be a loss for the UFC because they'd still have to pay the fighters that were scheduled on the card that didn't get in trouble. Therefore I believe the UFC chooses not to allow these positive test results out until after these events.
 
Of course they knew.

With the Jones scandal not being properly buried, of course they will say they only found out on February, which is BS.
 
They test beforehand, they knew beforehand, they let the event go ahead and then punish them afterwards. Funny how that works.
 
Dana and company have turned the UFC in to a complete and utter joke... Anyone that thinks they actually "CARE" about drug use is fooling themselves... They care about the bottom line, PERIOD. And they obviously knew before, hell, Diaz had been suspended before and buster against Gomi... Let's see if the UFC goes the "strict" route again like in the past: http://www.mmafighting.com/ufc/2012...r-one-year-must-forfeit-30-percent-of-ufc-143
 
I expect them to, just can't cancel the ppv or main event so sudden. Im fine with them hidding it til after the fight and them punishing. If a fighter test positive and force the UFC to cancel an event of the size the UFC 183 was he should be fined by the UFC a millionaire number. So the UFC recovers what they lost
 
I'd almost go with the they don't want to know route. Plausible deniability I think they call it.
 
NFL does the same thing with scandals.

Business comes first, deal with it.

I came to say the exact same thing.
There's an agreement between the NSAC and the ufc and it has to do with this no doubt.

If it's positive it's revealed after the fight.
Only the top brass like Dana will know before hand so they can plan for damage control.

Desperate for PPV buys of course. Now Silva is pretty much done and the UFC has permanently lost another of its teeny tiny amount of stars.

Not every time, as they do need time to actually test the samples, but in this case with how long before the PPV the test was, they should have had results by then.
 
THEY KNOW

why do you think they got out of the random testing business so fast?
