The commission regulating UFC on ESPN 6 this past Saturday said heavyweight Greg Hardy’s lack of disclosure cost him his win over Ben Sosoli.
“The inhaler was not pre-approved by the commission for use during the fight in accordance with the Commission’s regulations,” Massachusetts State Athletic Commission (MSAC) spokesperson Carolyn Assa wrote in an email to MMA Fighting. “Therefore, the commission overturned the win and declared the bout no contest.”
The commission declined additional comment on Hardy’s case.
Hardy’s inhaler does not appear to be explicitly outlawed by the commission’s rules. For purposes of anti-doping, the commission recognizes the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list.
