The manager of Carina Damm says the fighter will appeal a six-month suspension and $550 fine from the Ohio State Athletic Commission. Jason Ellis of Relentless Sports Management today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Damm denies submitting a false urine sample to the commission following a fight in Cleveland earlier this month. Ellis added that Damm told him she not take performance-enhancing drugs prior to the competition. “I don’t have all the facts,” Ellis said. “I spoke with Carina and her husband briefly, and my understanding is that she’s not doing anything she’s not supposed to be doing. I was told that she isn’t, so I’m going to support my client and see the facts through.” Damm (18-9), who’s married to Bellator vet Luis Santos and is the sister of UFC featherweight Rodrigo Damm , is suspended for six months retroactive to the date of her fight, which took place June 1 at “NAAFS: Fight Night in the Flats 9.” She lost a decision in a catchweight bout against Bellator vet Jessica Eye (10-1), which at the time was her third consecutive setback. Two weeks later, she fought in Brazil and earned a first-round TKO in another regional event

The bout was part of the NAAFS show on June 1 in Cleveland. Ohio Athletic Commission Executive Director Bernie Profato confirmed the news to MMAWeekly.com on Saturday. It was first reported by MMAFighting.com . Damm was suspended for six months and fined $550, but she is still entitled to a hearing, initially set for Aug. 13, if she chooses to appeal, according to Profato. “She was observed by another female, but it is difficult to actually physically watch the person go in the cup,” Profato told MMAWeekly.com .

The featherweight bout was part of today’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 event at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. It streamed on Facebook ahead of a main card on FUEL TV. Hirota looked to strike early, and he and Damm traded heavy hands in the first minute.
