James Irvin
Light heavyweight James Irvin has tested positive for Methadone and Oxymorphone, following his first round technical knockout loss to Anderson Silva at UFC Fight Night 14 on July 19, according to the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).
Oxymorphone is a pain reliever prescribed to alleviate moderate to severe pain. Methadone is most commonly prescribed to recovering heroin addicts or for the management of chronic pain.
The “Sandman” has 20 days to respond and request a formal hearing to dispute the finding. If the ruling is upheld he faces a possible fine and suspension. He was the only fighter to test positive for banned substances!
