NYSAC confirms Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva will undergo out-of-competition drug testing prior to Bellator NYC

Bellator NYC will take place next Saturday and the New York State Athletic Commission has made arrangements to have both Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva undergo out-of-competition drug testing prior to next week’s fight card.

New York State Athletic Commission communications department representative Laz Benitez confirmed this news to The MMA Report on Monday after I learned over the weekend that arrangements had been made for both fighters to take part in out-of-competition testing.

Bellator NYC will come from Madison Square Garden in New York City on Saturday, June 24 and will be available on pay-per-view. Prior to the pay-per-view, Bellator 180 will take place on Spike and will be headlined by a title fight as Phil Davis defends the Bellator light heavyweight title against Ryan Bader.
