Bruno Silva will have to wait a while before his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut.

The former M-1 Challenge champion received a two-year suspension from the United States Anti-Doping Agency after testing positive for boldenone and its metabolite in an out-of-competition sample collected on May 27, 2019. Silva was expected to make his Octagon debut against Deron Winn at UFC Fight Night 154 in June 2019 before the positive test.
