Stephan Bonnar
Following a failed drug test post UFC 153, light heavyweight Stephan ‘The American Psycho’ Bonnar, has received a one year suspension according to UFC Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Marc Ratner.
Bonnar tested positive for the steroid Drostanolone after a first round TKO loss to middleweight champ Anderson Silva in the main event of the Brazilian event. This suspension will conclude on October 13, 2013.
The other fighter to fail the drug test, heavyweight Dave Herman, is expected to learn his fate later this week.
Ratner revealed the news to MMAWeekly.com on Tuesday.
News of the failed drug tests were first reported this past Friday, with both Bonnar and Herman admitting to taking the banned substances.
‘The American Pscyho’ stated that he was retiring from mixed martial arts before the drug test announcement. While Herman suffered his third straight Octagon loss and may see a pink slip come his way from the UFC.
UFC 153: Silva vs. Bonnar took place on October 13 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at the HSBC Center.
