With 2023 coming to a close, “Spinning Back Clique” looked back at the biggest stories of the year in mixed martial arts.
On this week’s year-in-review episode, our panel of Mike Bohn, Nolan King and Brian “Goze” Garcia discussed the UFC ending its partnership with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).
A business relationship that began in 2015 officially ends in January, as the UFC will partner with Drug Free Sport International to run its athlete anti-doping program. UFC executive vice president and chief business officer Hunter Campbell and senior vice president of athlete health and performance Jeff Novitsky announced the news of the change at a press conference after USADA CEO described the relationship between the two parties as “untenable.”
Was the USADA experiment worth it? Will the new-look anti-doping program be better for the athletes?
You can watch their discussion with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia in the video above, and check out the full episode below.
