UFC light-heavyweight Abdul-Kerim Edilov is facing a potential anti-doping violation following an out-of-competition drug test.
Before even setting foot in a UFC Octagon for his debut, Abdul-Kerim Edilov potentially committed a violation of the UFC's anti-doping policy.
According to a statement released by the UFC, the Russian prospect was informed of a "potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collection."
Edilov (16-4) was scheduled to make his UFC debut against Francimar Barroso during the Fight Pass portion of the card. The 24-year-old fought on the Russian regional circuit for his entire career and was expected to make his first professional appearance on American soil.
