Alexander Shlemenko commented on the news that Bruno Silva failed a doping test:
"Hello! Today, the news came that Bruno Silva failed a doping test and will make his debut in UFC. To be honest, when it was announced he has signed with UFC, I had my doubts that he's ever debuts because there are USADA.
"I would add that in no case I am not shifting the blame for my defeat. Yes, doping is an advantage in many aspects, but still it's just chemistry, and doping will not fight for you. As for our rematch with Bruno, I think, now it becomes even more real," the fighter wrote in his Instagram.
