12 UFC 92 Fighters Drug Tested, Final Gate Numbers Released

The Nevada State Athletic Commission on Thursday announced that 12 of the fighters from last Saturday's UFC 92 card at the MGM Grand Garden Arena had been tested for performance enhancers and drugs of abuse. Test results for performance enhancers would likely be released early next week, while results for drugs of abuse could take up to a week longer.

According to NSAC executive director Keith Kizer, the fighters included Forrest Griffin, Rashad Evans, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Frank Mir, Brad Blackburn, Matt Hamill, Antoni Hardonk, Yushin Okami, Cheik Kongo, Quinton Jackson, C.B. Dolloway and Pat Barry.

Kizer also released final gate and revenue numbers for the event. The live gate numbers were in line with UFC president Dana White's post-fight quote, with $3,468,440 generated from 9,701 tickets sold. 4,465 tickets were issued as "comps," while 657 remained unsold.
