they haven't been around for a while. I don't think ONE championship tests, and if they do, it isn't very rigorous.

In MMA the UFC is way way more strict than any of the other orgs. You very rarely see champs or big celebs pulled off card ever like you in the the UFC under USADA testing

PRIDE has its fair share of preposterous exhibition matches though, to be fair. But no, I'm not a fan either.
