Luis Pajuelo ’s UFC debut didn’t work out the way he hoped for earlier this year, and the news has gotten worse. Pajuelo (8-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) has been given a two-year suspension for a violation of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy (UFC ADP). Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD), which took over after the UFC and USADA split at the beginning of 2024, announced the 24-month sanction Thursday.

LAS VEGAS – Luis Pajuelo has high hopes after securing a UFC contract at Dana White’s Contender Series 59. Pajuelo (8-1) stopped Robbie Ring (6-5) by first-round TKO Tuesday in their featherweight bout at the UFC Apex. The Peruvian fighter doesn’t have an opponent in mind for his UFC debut but dreams of one day fighting the likes of former champion Max Holloway and current 145-pound champion Alexander Volkanovski . “Obviously not in my debut, but I would love to fight some of the greatest fighters in my division like Holloway, Volkanovski,” Pajuelo told MMA Junkie and other reporters through an interpreter.

Week 3 of Dana White’s Contender Series (2023) took place on Tuesday in Las Vegas, and we’re grading the winners from the four-fight card, which streamed on ESPN+ from the UFC Apex. With a simple but digestible format that has had the MMA fanbase responding, this series has shown to have legs in multiple ways while serving as a crockpot for contenders the UFC matchmakers can use to fill their roster for future events. With that trend in mind, I once again will be taking a look at the winning fighters, regardless of whether or not they won a UFC contract, and grading their performances in regard to their probability of returning to a UFC stage.
