UFC Releases Official Statement On Latest Fighter Drug Test Failure

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." For more MMA news click here.
