Rony Jason to take legal action against CABMMA if failed drug test is overturned

Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight Rony Jason expects to sue the Brazilian Athletic Commission (CABMMA) if his failed drug test at UFC Fight Night 67 is reverted by Las Vegas doctors.

Former The Ultimate Fighter: "Brazil" (TUF) Featherweight tournament winner Rony Jason tested positive for a banned diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide, following his first-round submission victory over fellow grappler Damon Jackson at UFC Fight Night 67 in May.

The victory, which was the 31-year-old's third of his UFC career, was subsequently overturned following a failed drug test. Jason was slapped with a nine-month suspension from the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) in the process.
