Askar Mozharov was temporarily expelled in Nevada after a positive drug screen. This is in response to his fight at UFC.

Askar Mozharov, who was released from the UFC following his first and only fight with the promotion, has been temporarily suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after a drug test was flagged for a banned substance.

The commission met on Tuesday to approve the suspension in lieu of a hearing that is tentatively scheduled for September.

According to the report from the commission, Mozharov tested positive for a metabolic modulator surrounding his fight with Alonzo Menifield at the UFC Fight Night event held on June 4 in Las Vegas.

Mozharov reportedly lives in Dubai at the moment and has been communicating with the commission about the drug test. A resolution is expected to be reached at a subsequent meeting.

The news of Mozharov being suspended comes just a few months after his debut in the UFC was marred by allegations that he falsified his records with an overly large number of fights, after signing a deal with the promotion.

After he lost to Menifield in a TKO, several corrections were made to Mozharov’s resume.

Just days after the fight, Mozharov was released from his contract with the UFC.
