PFL Season 2 featherweight tournament finalist Daniel Pineda has failed a drug test conducted by the Nevada Athletic Commission, his manager confirmed to MMA Fighting.
“Right now we’re in the process of researching what could have led to a positive test,” Jason House said in a prepared statement. “We plan on appealing the decision once all information is gathered.”
House, who was bound for UFC Sao Paulo when reached for comment, declined to provide the name of the substance for which Pineda tested positive. He said he plans to meet with the commission to get more information on it and the circumstances around the failure.
