UFC welterweight Muslim Salikhov is riding a second round knockout victory over Ricky Rainey at the moment. That being said, it would appear that the fighter has since been flagged for a failed drug test.
Salikhov finished Rainey at UFC on FOX 29 earlier this year, putting the fighter back inside the winning column with a total record of 14-2. Now the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has come forward with an official statement concerning the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s recent flagging of the fighter.
Check it out below:
“The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed athlete Muslim Salikhov of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected on June 7, 2018 in Russia.
“USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Muslim Salikhov. Under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full and fair legal process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed. Additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.”
