This page reproduces publicly reported regulatory and medical-administrative records. Every entry names the body that issued it. Anti-doping testing entries are counts of publicly reported test sessions and are not pass/fail results — a test session is not a positive test. Records are reproduced as published and are not medical advice.

Bassil Hafez tested positive for ipamorelin, a prohibited peptide hormone in the Peptide Hormones, Growth Factors, Related Substances, and Mimetics category of the UFC Prohibited List. The prohibited substance was detected in an out-of-competition sample collected from Hafez on March 20, 2026, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
During CSAD’s investigation, Hafez provided full and complete cooperation as defined under the UFC ADP. His cooperation included identifying and introducing CSAD to a wellness clinic he had used to obtain substances he believed were permitted for injury recovery purposes. Hafez has not competed since November 2024 due to injury and did not have a bout scheduled at the time the sample was collected.
Evidence gathered during the investigation indicated that, although Hafez claimed he was unaware that a product provided to him by the wellness clinic contained ipamorelin, he acted with gross negligence by consuming the product without conducting adequate due diligence regarding its ingredients and their prohibited status.
