It is not currently known what Mir got flagged for. That said, he denies whatever they’re accusing him of. Here’s his official statement, off Facebook:




“To all my fans and supporters,

I recently been notified by USADA that the test I took on the night of the fight came back for a substance that I did not take. I don’t know how that is possible as I did not take any performance enhancing drugs (PED) to compete. I have never tested positive for a banned substance since joining the UFC and becoming a 2x champion. I ask all of you to hold judgement [sic] against me until all the facts have been revealed.”

Mir has really let himself go since losing to Daniel Cormier...

The standard suspension for this would be two years. However, Yoel Romero just successfully fought to have his suspension reduced to six months due to his failure coming from a tainted supplement. We’ll see what happens to him.
