Controversy surrounds Pedro Munhoz’s failed drug test at UFC Fight Night 54

Pedro Munhoz stopped Jerrod Sanders in 39 seconds this past October, but there’s some controversy still surrounding his post-fight drug test.

Munhoz vs. Sanders took place in the preliminary portion of UFC Fight Night 54 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on Oct. 4, 2014, and MMAFighting.com has learned that Munhoz failed his post-fight test for elevated levels of testosterone.

Neither the Nova Scotia Boxing Authority nor the UFC ever announced the test results, but Munhoz confirmed to MMAFighting.com he was informed of the failed test -- and that’s when it all gets weird.

According to Munhoz, he hired anti-doping specialist Paul Scott and appealed the result, and is still waiting to hear back from the commission.
