The Brazilian featherweight, who tapped Damon Jackson in the first round in Goiania, Brazil, on May 30, has tested positive for the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide, and his victory was overturned to a no contest, Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) announced Thursday.

Jason received a nine-month suspension, and will likely lose his $50,000 'Performance of the Night' bonus.

According to CABMMA, the other 23 fighters who competed at the event tested clean for banned substances.
