Welterweight Augusto Montano has been suspended for one year after failing a post-fight drug test at UFC 188 on June 13.

The UFC released a statement on Friday afternoon announcing that Montano tested positive “for exogenous origin of testosterone metabolites.” His suspension is effective from the date of the event. Montano would have received a lengthier suspension, but the promotion's new anti-doping policy, which is overseen by USADA, had not yet taken effect.
