UFC bantamweight title contender Rob Font has been cleared of any wrongdoing by USADA after he tested positive for a cosmetic stimulant that’s not prohibited by the association, but the story isn’t completely over as Font remains temporarily suspended before the Nevada State Athletic Commission reviews his case.
Following his unanimous decision win over Cody Garbrandt at UFC Vegas 27 just weeks ago, Font was flagged for a stimulant 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid shortly after what was arguably the most dominant performance of his MMA career.

Calvin Kattar took a licking in his most recent fight, but he’s definitely still ticking.
The main event of the UFC’s first event on ABC this past January saw Kattar lose a lopsided decision to former featherweight champion Max Holloway in a fight that both showed off Kattar’s toughness and had viewers fearing for his safety. UFC President Dana White said afterwards he was afraid Kattar was in serious danger, while Holloway praised Kattar for going the distance.
Four months later, Kattar is not only feeling like he’s recovered from that loss, he’s ready to step in there with Holloway again.
Calvin Kattar has decided to listen to his body. The sixth-ranked featherweight has resolved to let his body fully heal before returning to the octagon later this year.
Kattar’s last outing in January resulted in a lopsided unanimous decision defeat at the hands of Max Holloway. Holloway landed 445 significant strikes in a fight so brutal that many were left wondering why Kattar’s corner chose not to throw in the towel. For his part, Kattar never stopped moving forward as many wondered how he was still standing. Although Kattar remains in concussion protocol, he still believes his coach, New England Cartel’s Tyson Chartier, made the right call. In a recent interview with MMA Junkie Radio, Kattar opens up about the decision. (H/T MMA Junkie)
