UFC Contender Mayra Bueno Silva Suspended and Win Overturned After Positive Drug Test

UFC women's bantamweight contender Mayra Bueno Silva has been suspended for 4½ months by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) after testing positive for ritalinic acid, a medication she claimed was for her ADHD. Her win over Holly Holm in July has been overturned to a no contest. Bueno Silva, along with two other UFC fighters, received suspensions for positive drug tests. UFC welterweight Daniel Rodriguez was suspended for six months, while UFC heavyweight Walt Harris received a one-year suspension. Both Rodriguez and Harris tested positive in out-of-competition testing.

Controversial Judging in Grasso-Shevchenko Fight Divides NSAC and UFC Fighters

Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) executive director Jeff Mullen disagreed with judge Mike Bell's controversial 10-8 score in the fifth round of the UFC women's featherweight title fight between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko. Mullen and other judges on a training call agreed that the round should have been scored 10-9 for Grasso instead. Shevchenko has questioned the score and UFC president Dana White expressed dissatisfaction, suggesting a trilogy fight between Grasso and Shevchenko would be appropriate. The training call aimed to clarify the criteria for scoring 10-8 rounds in MMA.
