Greg Jackson said he saw the New Mexico Athletic Commission sequester UFC Fight Night 42 headliner Rustam Khabilov for a drug test, contradicting the claims of a rival coach who said the super camp received preferential treatment. “I know for a fact that they tested Rustam because I was there when they tested him,” the famed MMA coach today told MMAjunkie. “I think they tested [UFC Fight Night 42 competitor Erik Perez ] too, but I’m 100 percent sure they tested Rustam.” On Monday, Dean Amasinger, a training partner and coach of co-headliner Ross Pearson , said he voiced concerns with the UFC after verifying the commission selectively tested Saturday’s fighters to exclude those from Jackson’s camp. A report from SWFight.com , however, stated that a total of eight fighters were tested, including Khabilov and Perez, who both train at the gym, which is located nearby to the event’s location in Albuquerque, N.M. UFC Fight Night 42 took place at Tingely Coliseum and aired live on FOX Sports 1 following a prelim on UFC Fight Pass.
