Victories at UFC 149 for Matt Riddle and Francisco Rivera will be wiped off the books and made no contests.

Officials with the Calgary Combative Sports Commission confirmed the news to MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com) on the heels of the Thursday news that the pair had tested positive for banned substances.

UFC 149 took place July 21 at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Riddle's win came on the main card; Rivera won on the preliminary card.

As MMAjunkie.com reported earlier this week, Riddle tested positive for marijuana, while Rivera was flagged for an over-the-counter stimulant. Both were suspended for 90 days by the commission. Those suspensions expired on Friday since they were retroactive to the date of the fights.
