Ultimate Fighting Championship(UFC)
The UFC is being well known for its use of performance-enhancing drugs. In the month of December 2013, the UFC started a new campaign for drug testing their entire roster randomly year-round, but the UFC started to think that "random testing" started to look like a bad idea, after it was costing them colloquial money and fight cards because once a fighter has tested positive especially before their fight then they are pulled off the fight card. Which after the UFC would have to find a replacement fighter and if they couldn't then the fight would be pulled from the card. Per Steven Marrocco of MMAjunkie.com, about 31% of UFC fighters subjected to random testing since the program first started have failed due to using performance-enhancing drugs. That's about every sixteen fighters that were subjected to random screenings about five of them have failed.

There have been many incidents here just in the past few months of doping in the UFC, As of July 2015, it was said that the UFC will advocate to all commissions to test every fighter in competition from every card. "We want 100 percent of the fighters tested the night they compete" which was said by Lorenzo Feritta who at the time was one of the presidents of the UFC. Also in addition to the drug testing protocols in place for competitors on fight night, the UFC will have additional testing for main event fighters or any fighters that will be in championship matches. This includes enhanced testing of random out of competition testing for performance-enhancing drugs, both urine and blood samples being taken. Even here more recently the UFC has announced that all potential UFC signees will be subject to a mandatory pre-contract screening for performance-enhancing drugs.
