Rony Jason tested positive following his UFC Fight Night 67 win over Damon Jackson, and threatened to sue the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) if his B sample came back negative. However, the Brazilian featherweight’s B sample also tested positive for diuretic hydrochlorothiazide.
CABMMA announced on Tuesday that Jason’s urine sample was analyzed by WADA-accredited UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory, and came back positive. As a result, Jason is suspended nine months, and his first-round submission victory is overturned to a no-contest.
