Heavyweight Ruslan Magomedov is the latest victim of the American Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). The Russian was notified this time for failing an out-of-competition anti-doping test, carried out on September 07th. The news was reported on the UFC website itself, but it has not yet been revealed which substance was in the fighter's body.
Magomedov hasn't fought since October 2015, when he defeated Shawn Jordan by unanimous decision at UFC 192. At 29 years old, the Russian is currently number 12 in the heavyweight rankings and was scheduled to face Stefan struve at UFC 204 in October, but an injury took him out of the card. Considered one of the main hopes for renewal of the category, he won the three fights he had in the organization, all by decision.
