News Per Dana Tony Ferguson Set To Fight TBA Fighter

So wait, if it's Chandler, does that mean a non-UFC MMA fighter who signs a contract doesn't need to be in the USADA testing pool for several months before fighting?

I suppose because think of all the fighters that make their debut on short notice.

Yeah I just wasn't sure if maybe some people voluntarily enter the pool ahead of an actual offer, but based on Dana confirming Chandler will be backup for 254, it's a pretty minimal pre-requisite if any. In any case, hopefully Chandler pisses clean because it'll definitely be interesting to see how he fares in a deeper LW division.
