Nevada Athletic Commission have suspended two former Dana White’s Contender Series fighters for positive drug tests.
Darion Abbey has been handed his suspension after testing positive for clomiphene. The substance is banned across multiple combat sports and most infamously is the substance that began the Conor Benn debacle in the world of boxing a few years ago.
Abbey’s suspension is nine months but is backdated so will expire in May 2026. On Dana White’s Contender Series he faced Donte Johnson and suffered a brutal first round TKO loss. Unfortunately, with a record of 7-5 it is highly unlikely for Abbey to ever enter the UFC but this suspension more than likely shuts the door indefinitely for the American heavyweight.
