Marcos Foot is out of UFC Netherlands, an event that will take place on September 2nd in Rotterdam. Scheduled to face the Russian Saparbek Safarov, the Brazilian was removed from the card after being caught by USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) for a possible violation in an exam carried out out of competition, on August 1st. If tried and convicted, Pezão could receive up to two years of suspension. Ultimate is still looking for a name to face Safarov.
