With the NSAC's decision, Brandão will not be able to return to the ring before October 2nd. However, the limitations don't stop there. In order for him to be released again to work in Nevada, Brandão will need to present three negative anti-doping tests to the Commission to receive his license.
With a professional record of 20 wins and eleven losses, Diego Brandao was the champion of the featherweight category in the 14th season of the reality show The Ultimate Fighter in the United States. The Brazilian's dismissal from the UFC came after his involvement in a disturbance at a nightclub.
