PFL Season 2 finalist Daniel Pineda has returned to the UFC six years after he was released by the promotion.
Pineda, 34, recently completed a six-month suspension he received for adverse drug test that scratched him from the finals of PFL’s Season 2 featherweight tournament. The Nevada Athletic Commission found he had an elevated testosterone-to-epitestosterone (T/E) ratio and overturned his quarterfinal and semifinal wins to no-contests. He denied wrongdoing.
Multiple people with knowledge of the signing confirmed the news to MMA Fighting. MMA Junkie was the first to report the news. Pineda’s return opponent has not been confirmed yet.
