Overview
- Combat Sports Anti-Doping announced Tuesday that Alibi Idiris accepted a 12-month suspension under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy.
- The ban is retroactive to February 21, 2026, when his in-competition Houston sample tested positive for hydrochlorothiazide, and he is eligible to return February 21, 2027.
- Idiris said he took a product with the banned diuretic during fight week to help make weight, but CSAD refused to reduce the sanction.
- The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation overturned his win over Ode Osbourne to a No Contest and can still levy its own fines or suspensions.
- The UFC anti-doping program is run by CSAD with samples collected by Drug Free Sport International and tested at the WADA-accredited SMRTL lab, while state regulators keep authority over official bout results.
