Light heavyweight Robert Drysdale and middleweight Kevin Casey both failed drugs after The Ultimate Fighter 19 finale and UFC 175 respectively.
Drysdale who secured a submission victory over Kevin Berish at The Ultimate Fighter 19 finale was initially flagged for having an elevated testosterone-to-epitestosterone (T/E) level according to Deputy Attorney General Chris Eccles. In addition, the Nevada attorney general’s office also confirmed today that Casey (1-1) tested positive for drostanolone (steroid) after he knocked Bubba Bush out in the first round.
