After the change in his test was announced, Mir took to social media and assured that he did not use any prohibited substances.

“I was recently notified by USADA that the test I took on fight night came back with a substance that I did not take. I don't know how this is possible, because I haven't used any performance-enhancing substances to compete. I have never tested positive for a banned substance since I joined the UFC and became a two-time champion. I ask all of you not to judge me until all the facts are revealed,” wrote the heavyweight.
