New York native Lyman Good is no longer set to compete on the UFC’s first-ever event in the Empire State.<\/p>\n

The former Bellator 170 pound champion and current UFC welterweight was flagged for a USADA violation according to the UFC’s website.<\/a><\/p>\n

The news of Lyman Good’s potential USADA violation broke on Monday, just weeks away from UFC 205.<\/p>\n

The UFC posted this press release to address Good’s removal from the card:<\/p>\n

“The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Lyman Good of a potential Anti-Doping violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected on October 14, 2016. USADA has provisionally suspended Good based on the potential anti-doping violation.<\/em><\/p>\n

Good was scheduled to fight Belal Muhammad in New York at UFC 205. The UFC is currently seeking a replacement to fight Muhammad.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"IMG_0032\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Good, a New York City native who grew up in East Harlem in Upper Manhattan, made his spot on the card even more meaningful for the 31-year-old. He made his UFC debut in July, when he brutally knocked out Andrew Craig in the second round.<\/a><\/p>\n

Prior to his successful octagon debut, Good (19-3-1) won the Bellator welterweight title in 2009 before losing the belt to eventual long-time champ Ben Askren in 2010.<\/p>\n

Good was initially set to take on Belal Muhammad on November 12 for UFC 205 before the UFC pulled him from the card altogether following a failed out-of competition test collected on October 14. There’s no word yet on what exactly he tested positive for.<\/p>\n

It’s still unclear whether or not Muhammad will remain on the card, however the UFC is seeking a replacement opponent for Muhammad in light of recent revelations over Good’s potentially failed USADA test.<\/p>\n

Good hasn’t lost a fight since dropping a decision to current Bellator welterweight champ Andrey Koreshkov back in 2012. He’s gone 5-0-1 in his last six bouts, finishing all but one of those victories.<\/p>\n
