    The Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) on Wednesday issued a temporary suspension to UFC featherweight Diego Brandao following the Brazilian's failed drug test at UFC 195 on Jan. 2 in Las Vegas, NV.

    Brando (21-9) tested positive for marijuana metabolites in an in-competition drug screening ahead of a third-round submission loss against Brian Ortega.

    Yoel Romero will become the first UFC fighter to appeal a USADA suspension.

    The UFC middleweight was hit with a suspension from the third-party organization recently for a potential anti-doping violation and plans on appealing the ban, sources told MMA Fighting on Tuesday.

    MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani was the first to report the news.

    Romero failed an out-of-competition drug test in December. His team has claimed that Romero took a dietary supplement that was contaminated with a banned substance. The substance has yet to be revealed publicly by Romero or USADA.
