“There wan an irregular test. Something was wrong,” White said at Saturday night’s UFC 156 post-fight press conference. “Whenever something wrong happens, or weird, (the samples) get retested and, usually, it’s not a good thing.

“It (expletive) was not Vitor Belfort. Yet, right now I bet if you talked to 100 people, 100 people will tell you that Vitor Belfort failed his drug test in Brazil. That’s (expletive).”

The issue had also been brought up to Belfort earlier in the day during a group interview with the UFC 156 media.

He also denied failing his drug test, saying that he thinks people are just jealous of the success a fighter of his age – he is 35 years old – had against a man like Michael Bisping, who was in line for a title shot.

White, while acknowledging that “something went wrong,” fell short of saying just exactly what went wrong. He did say that the results would be made public shortly.

“I do know the results. They’ll be out Monday.”

This was an interesting tidbit. I went back and reviewed the UFC on FX 7 fight card, and frankly, if Vitor isn't the offender than this failed test really won't impact any divisional rankings. And the failed test could be caused by THC or something stupid not related to PEDs.

Bisping most likely started the rumor.

If it's not Belfort, then if I had to guess I would say CB or Rothwell.

Rothwell I bet. I mentioned it in the noob jack thread. Ben looked very leaned down in his fight with Gonzaga.

Rothwell had started dropping weight prior to this he looked in alot better shape for the Schaub fight. Don't think it's him but you never know.

Hopefully it is CB. I never liked him.
