When Gegard Mousasi signed with Bellator earlier this year, the Viacom-owned promotion offered many perks. One struck Mousasi (42-6-2 MMA, 9-3 UFC) in particular: The freedom to request drug testing of his opponents. In advance of his debut at Bellator 185, Mousasi is cashing that check early. Alexander Shlemenko (56-9 MMA, 12-3 BMMA), a former middleweight champ and Mousasi’s debut foe, is clean after being tested recently. Mike Mazzulli, who oversees the Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulations that will regulate Bellator 185, told MMAjunkie Shelemenko passed his first test and will be tested again closer to the fight. He said Mousasi’s test is “in process.” Mazzulli has previously conducted drug testing on Bellator’s behalf for international events.
