Several WEC 37 Fighters Undergo Drug Testing
 As is typical for most athletic commissions, the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Wednesday night required WEC 37 main event fighters Miguel Torres and Manny Tapia to submit to the state's drug testing process.
In addition to the main event WEC bantamweight title bout, Nevada also tested several other fighters at random. At WEC 37, these fighters included Shane Roller, Cub Swanson, Bart Palaszewski, Josh Hendricks, Joseph Benavidez, Brian Bowles, and Wagnney Fabiano.
Drug test results are sent to an independent facility for processing and are not immediately available. Results should be known within a matter of days.Labels: Bart Palaszewski, Brian Bowles, Cub Swanson, Drug Testing, Joseph Benavidez, Josh Hendricks, Manny Tapia, Miguel Torres, NSAC, Shane Roller, Wagnney Fabiano, WEC 37

Fighters Hiding Injuries May Face Disciplinary Action in the Future
The Nevada State Athletic Commission at its meeting on Wednesday raised the issue of fighters that lie about injuries on the pre-fight medical examinations. Despite fighters having to undergo a medical exam prior to fights, not everything can be detected in this exams. Some fighters apparently choose to hide injuries that they think they can fight through.
The Commission deemed the frequency of such occurances and the seriousness of it enough to bring it up for consideration.
Though nothing much new materialized from the discussion, the Commissioners reiterated that they have the right to pursue disciplinary action against any fighter or trainer who fails to disclose an injury that was suffered in training, and that they may have to exercise that right in the future.Labels: NSAC

NSAC's Keith Kizer On EliteXC Controversy
Following the controversy around Seth Petruzelli and whether or not he was asked/told/paid-off by EliteXC officials not to take Kimbo Slice to the ground during their recent bout on CBS-EliteXC Saturday Night fights, Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer informed MMAWeekly.com that he had brought the comments to the attention of EliteXC co-matchmaker JT Steele, who emphatically denied any payoff.
"Hypothetically, if that happened, and we found out later that one of the fighters or both were told, 'look, you need to fight a certain way,' or some incentive not to utilize part of your skills, I would file a complaint," Kizer said. "I would file a complaint against the promoter; I would probably file a complaint against the athlete as well."
Steve Cofield of Yahoo! Sports and ESPN Radio 1100 recently conducted a video interview with Kizer, where he went more in depth on the situation and talked about EliteXC's plans for a Nov. 8 event in his state in Reno.
