Overview
- Levi Rodrigues, sanctioned Wednesday by Nevada's commission, received a nine-month suspension, a $1,000.60 fine, and a return date of July 14, 2026.
- His Oct. 14, 2025 Contender Series win over Freddy Vidal was changed to a no-contest, and Vidal's record reverted to 4-0.
- Testing detected 19-norandrosterone, a metabolite of the anabolic steroid nandrolone that anti-doping rules ban at all times.
- His manager says he used nandrolone from May to July 2024 to treat a back injury and stopped more than a year before the bout.
- UFC’s internal program later labeled him not at fault, and the promotion has not said if his roster spot or contract will change.
