Bigfoot Silva fails his post-fight drug test, stripped of bonus

That’s a quick way to lose 50 grand. Bigfoot Silva failed his post-fight drug test after UFC Fight Night with elevated testosterone levels. We know Bigfoot had failed drug tests before, under the Elite XC banner, but what you may not have known was that he was on TRT for this fight to help stave off the effects of his gigantism.

So he was stripped of his FOTN bonus, and we will see about the suspension. Keep in mind, the TRT was on doctor’s orders and Bigfoot was just following instructions.

A new wrinkle in the TRT saga.
