UFC fighter Magomedov suspended for life due to doping

UFC fighter Ruslan Magomedov of Russia received a life-long disqualification for two USADA anti-doping policy violations. All in all Magomedov had three failed doping tests. The second violation of the anti-doping policy occurred on October 10, 2018, when the athlete's doping test gave positive results on a number of prohibited substances.

On February 5 Magomedov refused to undergo a doping test after the requirement of a doping control officer during out-of-competition tests. This is a gross violation of the USADA policy. The last time under the auspices of the UFC Magomedov came in Octagon in 2015. In total, he had three fights in UFC scoring three victories.
