One of the victors on the PFL's Battle of the Giants: Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira card has had their win overturned after failing a drug test.
The Professional Fighters League staged its latest pay-per-view event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this past October. It marked a big night for the promotion, with heavyweight star Francis Ngannou and all-time great Cris Cyborg both making their SmartCage debuts.
They emerged victorious in the headline spots, defeating Renan Ferreira and Larissa Pacheco, respectively. A number of other fighters made the most of their position on the major lineup, including Johnny Eblen, Zafar Mohsen, and Paul Hughes on the main card.
Disaster has struck for one of those names, however.
MMA Junkie reported this week that Mohsen's unanimous decision victory over Husein Kadimagomaev has been overturned to a no contest.
The information came through Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation chief Mike Mazzulli, who confirmed that a drug test submitted by Mohsen on fight night was flagged as positive in the aftermath.
