DREAM middleweight Gerald Harris has no beef with Krzysztof Soszynski and Matt Serra. But he certainly takes issue with their recent comments on steroid use in MMA.

The UFC fighters recently made headlines by declaring performance-enhancers a rampant problem. Soszynski went so far as to say 85 percent of fighters use them.

To prove that statement wrong, Harris now plans to take drug testing into his own hands as he prepares for his overseas debut in Japan at DREAM.17.

Valentijn Overeem were cut for one simple reason, according to White: Zuffa simply can’t do
