Askar
Mozharov, who gained notoriety for falsifying his record prior
to his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut, was temporarily
suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for a failed drug
test.

Mozharov was flagged for a metabolic modulator in relation to his
first-round technical knockout loss to Alonzo
Menifield at
UFC Fight Night 207 on June 4. The NSAC on Tuesday ruled to
temporarily suspend the light heavyweight fighter until a
disciplinary hearing tentatively slated for September. According to
a report from
MMAjunkie.com, the substance that led to the failed drug
screening was GW1516 sulfone. Mozharov currently lives in Dubai but
has been in communication with the commission regarding his
status.
Mozharov came under scrutiny for attempting to alter his won-loss
record on MMA databases through fictional results and deleted
defeats. He was successful for a while, as at one point his record
stood at 25-7. Eventually, however, those errors were corrected,
and the Ukraine native now owns a 15-14 mark, which includes his
loss to Menifield.
The man known as “Black Jaguar” was released from the UFC following
his debut and has not been scheduled for a bout since then.
