“USADA is not sleeping, my fight in April, which was supposed to take place in St. Petersburg, is under threat of failure due to the fact that my opponent failed a doping test,” said Oleynik. “The UFC is now looking for a replacement, but so far there have been no proposals. This is already the second opponent who has failed doping test. It's a shame, time goes by, I constantly train and work, and there are always some problems."

"I hope that in the end everything will be fine, and I will fight. I will also say that this guy fought in December, and with a high probability that his fight will be declared as a no contest," the fighter added.
