PFL fighter Zafar Mohsen fails drug test, has Battle of the Giants win overturned

Zafar Mohsen’s PFL debut win has been overturned.

MMA Junkie confirmed Monday with Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation chief Mike Mazzulli that Mohsen submitted a fight night drug test for PFL: Battle of the Giants in October that was flagged as positive in the days that followed. The Mohegan Tribe commission regulated the Oct. 19 event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Mohsen (14-3) defeated Husein Kadimagomaev (11-1) by unanimous decision, but the result has since been changed to a no contest, according to Mazzulli. Additionally, Mohsen has been suspended one year and fined an undisclosed amount.

The fight marked the promotional debut for both Mohsen and Kadimagomaev, who were elevated to a spotlighted pay-per-view main card fight. The contract statuses of the two fighters beyond the Oct. 19 event is unclear, though both are still listed on PFL’s website.
