It’s not been a great couple of months for former Ultimate Fighter winner, Diego Brandao. After testing positive for marijuana after his fight with Brian Ortega at UFC 195, the Brazilian was arrested for an alleged assault at a gentleman’s club in Alberquerque, New Mexico whilst on a night out. Following his arrest and the charges laid against him, he has now been released from his contract by the UFC.
The Jackson’s MMA fighter had previously gone 6-3 during his stint in the UFC with wins over Dennis Bermudez, Jimy Hettes and Daniel Pineda on his resume. With his court appearance on the horizon as well as the punishment for his positive drugs test, it’s doubtful we’ll see Brandao fighting again anytime soon.
