LAS VEGAS – UFC heavyweight Carlos Felipe has been suspended 18 months by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Felipe (11-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) tested positive for boldenone, an anabolic steroid, following his October fight with Andrei Arlovski at UFC Fight Night 195, which the Brazilian lost via decision.
The suspension was issued at Tuesday’s monthly commission meeting at the Nevada State Business Center. As part of the adjudication agreement, Felipe is eligible to return to action on April 16, 2023 and must pay a fine of $4,200, or 15 percent of his $28,000 purse, as well as attorney’s fees of $489.
