Hamdy Abdelwahab suspended, has UFC debut win overturned after positive drug test and ‘tampering’

BAD MMA News — Fri, 03 Feb 2023 20:17:48 +0000

UFC heavyweight prospect Hamdy Abdelwahab no longer has a promotional win on his resume. Friday, UFC anti-doping partner USADA announced Abdelwahab (3-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) recently was suspended for two years after he tested positive twice for anabolic agent methenolone and its metabolites. He also was flagged for a tampering violation. “Abdelwahab did not declare the use of methenolone on his onboarding declaration forms and did not establish a compelling justification for his failure to do so,” a USADA announcement said. “Based on USADA’s investigation, it was determined that Abdelwahab used the prohibited substance and knew of his obligation to declare it.” The positive tests stemmed from a split decision win over Don’Tale Mayes (9-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC) at UFC 277 in July.

UFC free fight: Sergei Pavlovich steamrolls Derrick Lewis in 55 seconds

It took Sergei Pavlovich less than a minute to make his mark in the UFC heavyweight division. Looking to make it four straight, Pavlovich faced former title challenger Derrick Lewis this past July at UFC 277. Pavlovich cracked Lewis with a few big rights, which had “The Black Beast” on shaky legs. Pavlovich unleashed a flurry of punches until Lewis hit the mat face down. Referee Dan Miragliotta jumped in, but as soon as the fight was waived off, Lewis made his way back up and protested the stoppage. Pavlovich (16-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) returns to action Saturday when he takes on Tai Tuivasa (15-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) on the main card of UFC on ESPN 42, which takes place at Amway Center in Orlando, Fla.

Julianna Peña fires back at Daniel Cormier: ‘Why are you hating on me’ for trying to get Amanda Nunes trilogy?

BAD MMA News — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 21:27:24 +0000

Julianna Pena has clapped back at Daniel Cormier for saying she doesn’t deserve a trilogy with Amanda Nunes. Peña (11-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC), who dethroned bantamweight champion Nunes with a stunning upset submission at UFC 269, lost their rematch at UFC 277 by decision. Although a bloodied-up Peña showed a lot of heart, she was battered for 25 minutes. On his “DC & RC” ESPN show, Cormier said Peña’s lopsided loss to Nunes (22-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) didn’t warrant an immediate rematch . But Peña begs to differ, taking a shot at the former UFC dual champion

Daniel Cormier: Julianna Peña’s work ‘hasn’t warranted an immediate rematch’ vs. Amanda Nunes

BAD MMA News — Wed, 12 Oct 2022 13:53:54 +0000

Daniel Cormier doesn’t think Julianna Pena deserves a trilogy bout with Amanda Nunes right away. Peña (11-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) scored a shocking upset win to dethrone then-bantamweight champion Nunes last December at UFC 269. In that fight, Peña was able to weather Nunes’ early storm and then broke her by submitting her in Round 2. Nunes (22-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) was awarded an immediate rematch earlier this year at UFC 277 and avenged her loss in emphatic fashion to regain the title.

‘I’m not an idiot’: UFC 277 judge responds to Joe Rogan, critics of controversial scorecard

MMA judge Seth Fuller admits he’s not supposed to speak publicly about scoring fights, but in a recently published video he did so for nearly 30 minutes. The rule isn’t exclusive to Fuller. Many state athletic commissions forbid officials from speaking publicly. That apparently includes the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the commissioning body Fuller worked for as he judged UFC 277 bouts on July 30 in Dallas
