Video: Michael Bisping, Cung Le react to enhanced drug testing at UFC Fight Night 48

It seems a simple Instagram photo started it all, but UFC Fight Night 48 headliners Michael Bisping and Cung Le apparently aren’t too concerned about the fallout.

Earlier this week, Bisping talk to MMAjunkie about a much buzzed-about photo showing Saturday’s opponent, 42-year-old Le, looking in remarkable shape.

The photo prompted some speculation from Bisping (check it out below).

Now, as reported by Ariel Helwani on Wednesday’s edition of “UFC Tonight,” UFC officials have decided to have the fighters undergo additional testing, including blood testing, for Saturday’s fight.

We spoke to both Bisping and Le about the plans. Check it out above.

And catch Bisping (24-6 MMA, 14-6 UFC) and Le (9-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) in action on Saturday morning in the UFC Fight Pass-streamed headliner at The Venetian Macao’s CotaiArena in Macau. The event kicks off at 6:30 a.m. ET (3:30 a.m. PT).
