Two fighters who competed on the latest season of Dana White’s
Contender Series were suspended by the Nevada State Athletic
Commission on Monday.
Lukasz
Brzeski was suspended nine months and fined $750 after testing
positive for clomiphene in relation to his third-round submission
victory against Dylan
Potter at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Sept. 14. Brzeski, who
received a UFC contract for his efforts, will be eligible to return
to action on June 14, 2022. Clomiphene is typically used to treat
infertility in women, but it can also help regulate estrogen levels
for someone who may have been using performance enhancing
drugs.
It’s unclear if the positive test will affect Brzeski’s status with
the UFC. The Krakow, Poland native is 9-1-1 as a professional with
eight victories coming inside the distance.
Meanwhile, Muin
Gafurov was suspended for six months and fined $750 after
testing positive for the diuretic canrenone in relation to a
split-decision loss to Chad
Anheliger on Sept. 7. Gafurov’s sanction ends on March 8.
Gafurov has complied a 16-4 record as a professional that notably
includes a six-bout stint with Singapore-based promotion One
Championship.
