Gleison Tibau suspended for possible anti-doping policy violation

Veteran UFC lightweight Gleison Tibau has been provisionally suspended by USADA.

The man with the second-most fights in UFC history has been provisionally suspended by the USADA. The UFC released a statement regarding lightweight Gleison Tibau, who apparently popped in an out-of-competition test. Here is what they had to say:

"The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has notified both Gleison Tibau and UFC that he has been provisionally suspended due to a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition test.

USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Gleison Tibau.
