Nate Diaz not facing USADA violation, cleared to fight Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244

Jorge Masvidal vs. Nate Diaz is on.

UFC officials announced Friday night that the UFC 244 welterweight headliner will remain intact for the Nov. 2 card at Madison Square Garden in New York.

After announcing earlier this week an issue with one of his drug samples, Diaz has been cleared of any wrongdoing by UFC anti-doping partner USADA, per a UFC statement. MMA Junkie first reported the news.

Diaz tested positive for a trace amount of LGD-4033, a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), which are prohibited under the UFC anti-doping policy at all times.
