Shane Carwin Opts Out Of Vada Testing

We've been closely following the drama surrounding the drug testing for the upcoming UFC bout between Roy Nelson and Shane Carwin over the past week and now Nelson's manager has reached out to confirm that VADA testing is out.

Mike Kogan sent me a tweet on Twitter last night, explaining the "crafty" way Carwin's team found out of the testing.

@brentbrookhouse this @ShaneCarwin @roynelsonmma VADA thing is been boiling over with too much drama.. Roy wanted additional testing Shane and his management danced around the issue talking about everything but the answer. Today I finally got the answer from Jason that they will not do VADA but will gladly do others. Problem is others aren't offering to sponsor the test and I'm pretty sure Jason not gonna pay. So this was crafty way to get out of blood testing. Either way he getting his ass beat by Roy so it's whatever at this point.

Jason Genet, Carwin's manager, has mentioned USADA testing in the past but, as Kogan pointed out, they're not sponsoring the testing and it's not cheap, so that won't be happening.

Good fight in building up Phil's name and hopefully getting Griffin closer to retirement.

This.

But the match-up itself is not that interesting. Vinny vs Davis would've been much better.

Although Phil has great grappling [submissions and wrestling], his striking is If he wants to compete for the belt, he has improve this aspect of his game.

I think Vinny would beat him..even tho both arent the best of strikers...Phil is too timid with his.

I think we'll see this fight soon tho

Vinny needs a win against someone worth a damn.

Thats what im saying people want to crown him the next big thing but he hasn't fought anyone to warrant such

Hmmmm I wonder why ?????


He made a thread about Rotund Country on the UG, I guess to take the focus off him. Did he ever respond to the allegations of buying roids on the net?

I'm pretty sure they were both told to take random drug tests from the NSAC last week.


Vinny says he wants Hamill for his next fight.

That does absolutely nothing for him.
