It’s gonna be a while before fans see the ‘Doberman’ back in the Octagon again. The longtime Power MMA fighter and 11-year UFC veteran hasn’t fought since a TKO Loss to Khalid Murtazaliev back in September of 2018. Murtazaliev entered the contest as a late replacement for Artem Frolov (himself replacing Omari Akhmedov) who had been forced out of his planned bout with Dollaway due to injury.
In the months after the fight, Murtazaliev submitted two samples to USADA that tested positive for the steroid drostanolone, and was suspended for two years from MMA competition. On Monday, August 26th, USADA announced that Dollaway had also accepted a two year suspension.
