UFC lightweight Felipe Olivieri tested positive for Performance Enhancing Drugs in the pre-fight test for his bout against Tony Martin in January, and he plans to appeal the result.
Nova Uniao lightweight, Felipe Olivieri, didn't have quite the UFC debut he expected when he got himself trapped in a rear-naked choke in the third round of his match against Tony Martin.
To make matters worse, Olivieiri also failed his pre-fight drug test for methyltestosterone, per his coach Andre Pederneiras. As he told Combate, however, he doesn't know how it could've happened, since he is sure he didn't take any prohibited substances whatsoever.
