UFC Heavyweight Mohammed Usman’s Anti-Doping Violation Bans Him Until 2028
Mohammed Usman, the younger brother of Kamaru Usman, was suspended from the UFC for 30 months after he admitted to using peptides and testosterone, which was made worse by deceiving anti-doping investigators.
After testing positive for prohibited substances, UFC heavyweight Mohammed Usman was given a 30-month sentence, the Combat Sports Anti-Doping organization said Thursday.
During an out-of-competition drug test in September, Usman, the younger brother of former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, tested positive for testosterone. He was pulled from a planned fight with Valter Walker as a result of the failing test.
The 36-year-old subsequently acknowledged using testosterone and the illegal peptide BPC-157 on purpose, according to CSAD. But according to the CIA, Usman originally gave misleading justifications while the inquiry was underway. Consequently, CSAD extended the ban to 30 months by adding six months to the usual two-year punishment for testosterone usage.
The suspension will end on April 9, 2028, and it is retroactive to October 9, 2025. Usman, a former competitor on “The Ultimate Fighter,” has a 4-3 UFC record and trains in Florida.
