Middleweight Antonio Trocoli made it past his bout on Dana White’s Contender Series, where he scored a first-round submission win on episode three of the show’s third season. However, ‘Malvado’ won’t get to make his UFC debut.
Per Combate’s Evy Rodrigues, the 28-year-old was released from his UFC contract after failing a USADA test for the banned performance enhancing substance nandrolone. On Twitter, Rodrigues wrote that UFC president Dana White confirmed the news.
Dana White said he will release Antonio Trocoli, who earned a contract with the UFC at DWCS a couple of weeks ago.
