    UFC randomly tests...Monson was chosen not too long ago and I think he might have even been on the undercard that night.

    It's not the UFC itself that tests, its the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC). If the UFC wants to do shows in Vegas, they have to put up with the NSAC's rules.

    You are exactly right, UFC doesnt test for steroids , its the athletic commision in nevada that tests main events/title matches and a fixed number of others randomly chosen.
    Pride doesnt follow an athletic commision but has made it mandatory to test for illegal substances such as drugs. But steroids are not tested because steroids are not illegal in japan and their use in sports has never caused cheating/disadvantages/problems in the general sports scene in japan.
