Reactions to the UFC’s new drug-testing policy were positive across the board, from fans, analysts, media and, of course, fighters. “It’s going to clean up the sport quick, and people are going to think twice about what they can and can’t do,” said Frankie Saenz , who fights on tonight’s UFC Fight Night 61 card in Brazil. Saenz and other UFC fighters, including Jan Blachowicz , Sean Strickland , Marion Reneau and Matt Dwyer , let us know their opinions on the new policy, which goes into effect on July 1. Details are still being ironed out, but the end result could potentially see suspensions as long as four years for those who fail.
