UFC middleweight Kevin Casey and light heavyweight Robert Drysdale failed drug tests following UFC 175 and The Ultimate Fighter 19 Finale, MMAjunkie learned today. The Nevada attorney general’s office today confirmed that Casey (9-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC), who knocked out Bubba Bush in 61 seconds at UFC 175, tested positive for drostanolone, a steroid. Drysdale (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC), who submitted Keith Berish at The Ultimate Fighter 19 Finale, was flagged for an elevated testosterone-to-epitestosterone (T/E) ratio of 12-to-1, according to Deputy Attorney General Christopher Eccles. UFC 175 and The Ultimate Fighter 19 Finale took place on successive days, July 5 and July 6, both at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center, as part of the UFC’s International Fight Week. It’s the first positive test for Casey, while Drysdale fails a second time after the NSAC declined to medically clear him for a fight at UFC 167 due to an elevated T/E ratio of 19.4-1.
