Former LFA flyweight champion Carlos Mota’s UFC stint was a brief and problematic one.
After accepting to face Cody Durden on short notice to enter the world’s biggest MMA promotion and losing the fight, the Brazilian has now tested positive for banned substance Meldonium. The turn of events not only led to a two-year suspension from the NSAC, but also to his UFC release, MMA Junkie reports.
A common performance enhancing drug in Eastern Europe, Meldonium is classified as a metabolic modulator by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and became a banned drug in 2016.
