The M-1 Challenge middleweight champion will have to wait a little longer for his UFC debut.
Originally scheduled to take on Deron Winn at UFC Greenville, Bruno Silva was added to the card after his fellow Brazilian Markus Perez was forced out of the bout with an injury, but was then removed from the fight himself due to undisclosed reasons earlier this week.
‘Blindado’ released a statement which explained why he was off the card on such short notice. The statement, which was published by MMA Fighting, explains that Silva failed an out-of-competition USADA test, testing positive for a banned substance.
