Louis Gaudinot Suspended For Six Months For Failed Drugs Test

UFC flyweight fighters Louis Gaudinot has been suspended for six months after failing a post-fight drugs test at UFC Fight Night 37 in London on March 8th.

Gaudinot tested positive for a diuretic (used to mask other illegal substances) after finishing Paul Harris with a guillotine choke in the first round of their preliminary fight.

As a result the fight has also now been altered to a ‘no-contest’ ruling.

Gaudinot entered the UFC via The Ultimate Fighter 14 reality show in 2011 and has experienced mixed results, with his record in the Octagon now standing at 1-2 (+1nc).

As for Harris, he was initially released from the UFC following the loss to Gaudinot, his third in four UFC fights, but it appears that due to the ‘no-contest’ ruling he’s been welcomed back on-board and will get another chance to prove himself against Neil Seery at UFC Fight Night 46 next month.

Over the years I've watched the UFC develop into the powerhouse it is today, organizations like PRIDE, Strikeforce and WEC rise and fall, and Bellator emerge as a new force on the MMA landscape. Throughout it all I've remained captivated by the sport and I'm excited to cover what comes next here on MMA Insight.
