Robert Drysdale's UFC debut has been postponed again. The black belt, who was scheduled to face Cody Donovan at UFC 167, on November 16, was not granted permission to fight by the Nevada Athletic Commission. The entity that sanctions the show claimed high levels of testosterone in the Brazilian's exam. According to the official note, the rates are three times higher than permitted.
This wasn't the first time Drysdale has postponed his Octagon debut. At UFC Rio 4 he was scheduled to face the Ednaldo Lula. On that occasion, Robert even sought authorization to use hormone replacement therapy with testosterone. But after the request was denied, he was left out of the match due to an infection in his leg.
