We recently learned that TUF veteran and top UFC flyweight Louis Gaudinot had tested positive for banned substances.

With a six-month suspension in place, the fighter sent out a statement, explaining his side.

His words:

“I have great respect for the UFC, the sport of MMA, and my opponent. I would never do anything to disrespect any of them. I would also never do anything to tarnish my name, my teammates, and family. While I deny any wrongdoing, I will respect the decision of the UFC and look forward to getting back in the cage in pursuit of the UFC flyweight championship. I thank my family, teammates and fans for their support.”
