Rony Mariano Bezerra’s nine-month suspension has been upheld by the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) after his ‘B’ urine sample also tested positive for the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide.
CABMMA released a statement regarding the test to Sherdog.com on Tuesday. “Rony Jason” initially tested positive for the diuretic following his first-round submission victory over Damon Jackson at UFC Fight Night “Condit vs. Alves” on May 30 in Goainia, Brazil. In addition to the suspension, Bezerra’s victory was overturned to a no contest.
