UFC featherweight contender Diego “DB” Brandao has been temporarily suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) after failing a drug test surrounding his third round submission loss to Brian Ortega at January 2’s UFC 195 from Las Vegas, Nevada.

According to MMAFighting.com, Brandao tested positive for Marijuana metabolites, as his levels exceeded both the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) limits, as well as the NSAC limits.

The Brazilian should expect to stand before the commission at a hearing in the near future where a full punishment will be decided on.

The 28 year old burst onto the scene after submitting Dennis Bermudez in 2011 to win the 14th season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF).

Since then, Brandao has gone just 5-4 in the Octagon, holding stoppage victories over the likes of Pablo Garza, Jimmy Hettes, and Katsunori Kikuno. He has also suffered setbacks to household names like Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor, as well as his most recent loss to Ortega.

What type of consequences do you see fitting for “DB’s” actions?

Conor McGregor  headlined a UFC fight card for the first time ever when he fought Diego Brandao back in 2014 in just his 3rd fight inside the Octagon. What was better for McGregor was that he got to fight in his hometown of Dublin, Ireland.

Diego Brandao, at the time, had won three of his last four fights. Like Nate Diaz, Brandao is known to be a fighter who is extremely aggressive and will exchange shots in the pocket. However, McGregor used his distance against Brandao and dictated most of the fight. Watch below!

USADA is keeping busy as another UFC fighter tested positive. The UFC announced on Friday that Diego Brandao tested positive for a marijuana metabolite. He was tested in-competition at UFC 195 earlier this month in Las Vegas.

In the wake of this test, Brandao will have to go several hurdles if he is found guilty of violating the policy. He will have to go before the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) because it was an in-competition test stemming from an event in Las Vegas.

The UFC broke the news and issued the following statement:

The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) informed Diego Brandao of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation involving Carboxy-Tetrahydrocannabinol (“Carboxy-THC”) which is a metabolite of marijuana and/or hashish, above the decision limit of 180 ng/mL, stemming from an in-competition sample collected following his fight on January 2, 2016 in Las Vegas.

USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Brandao, as it relates to the UFC Anti-Doping Policy and future UFC participation. Because the Nevada State Athletic Commission was the regulatory body overseeing the fight in Las Vegas and has state licensing and jurisdiction over Brandao, USADA will work to ensure that the Commission has the necessary information to determine its proper judgment of Brandao’s potential anti-doping violation. Additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.

Brandao lost at UFC 195 to Brian Ortega via third-round submission. Brandao has two weeks to appeal the test.
