The Nevada State Athletic Commission administered drug tests to all 22 participants of December 15's Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale event, and all fighters on the event tested clean for performance enhancing drugs and drugs of abuse.
NSAC executive director Keith Kizer informed MMATorch on Monday that all drug test results came back negative for any banned substances.
The event was headlined by Roy Nelson vs. Matt Mitrione on FX, which Nelson won by TKO in the first round. That was just one of many finishes on the night, as the main card alone also saw Pat Barry knock out Shane Del Rosario, and Dustin Poirier submit Jonathan Brookins with a D'Arce choke.
The 16th season of The Ultimate Fighter came to a close at the event as well, as Team Nelson's Colton Smith defeated Team Carwin's Mike Ricci by decision in the night's co-main event.
