UFC star Holly Holm’s victory over Mayra Bueno Silva is no longer valid as per the reports given out of failed drug test by USADA.
Bueno Silva defeated Holly Holm via submission in the second round on Tuesday, but the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) unanimously decided to rule it a no-contest.
In her main event match at UFC Vegas 77 on July 15, Bueno Silva used a ninja choke to submit Holm, but she had already tested positive for ritalinic acid. Ritalin, also known as methylphenidate and frequently prescribed to treat ADHD, has a significant urine metabolite called ritalinic acid. In August, Bueno Silva revealed to MMA Fighting that the chemical responsible was a three-year-old ADHD prescription.
