Frank Mir flagged for potential USADA anti-doping violation

Frank Mir has been notified of a potential anti-doping violation stemming from his most recent fight.

The UFC announced Friday that a sample collected the day of his loss to Mark Hunt, a first-round knockout at UFC Fight Night 85, was flagged by the USADA.

From the UFC's official release:

The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Frank Mir of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an in-competition sample collected the day of his fight on March 20, 2016 in Brisbane, Australia.

USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Mir. It is important to note that, under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full and fair legal process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed.

Additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.

Any violation would be the first of Mir's 16-year UFC career.

Following the March 20 loss to Hunt, his second defeat in as many fights, the 36-year-old now boasts a career MMA record of 18-11.
