Prospective Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight Roman Dolidze has been shut down for a year before ever setting foot inside the Octagon.

The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency announced on Friday that Dolidze tested positive for multiple substances, and accepted a one-year suspension following those test results. The Ukrainian tested positive for clomiphene and "a long-term metabolite of dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (DHCMT), 4-chloro-18-nor-17β-hydroxymethyl,17α-methyl-5α-androst-13-en-3α-ol (M3)." Due to his cooperation and willingness to work with the drug testing agency, his suspension was reduced from a potentially longer period down to one year.
