The heavy weight Carlos Boi will have to wait a little longer to make his UFC debut. Scheduled to face Danish Christian Colombo at the event that will take place in São Paulo, on October 28th, the fighter was removed from the card after being notified of a potential violation of the USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) anti-doping policy. The prohibited substance used by the Brazilian has not yet been revealed.
