    Great news. The devil will be in the details though.

    How will it work for fighters who enter/exit the top 15 during the year?

        Wow. This is definitely a great move & unexpected. I thought for sure this was years away, but needed a few years back so great move by the WBC here. I'd hope this leads the way for the other alphabet groups as they all should be doing this.

        Like the good Dr says the devil will be in the details doe.

        I think one of the basic things that should be required is anyone voted to the top 15 moving forward should be immediately tested & deemed clean before they are officially added to the top 15.

        I also like that they are allowing for those wanting to to voluntarily be added to this 24/7/365 testing.

                Its very doable. The UFC has been doing this for almost a year for about double the fighters (believe the UFC gots 550+ guys under contract at any given time & the WBC should be doing it for 272 guys + some interim champions).
