Anti-doping suspension / ineligibility
Anti-doping sanctionLucindo Bezerra tested positive for the presence of mesterolone, a prohibited-at-all-times substance in the class of Anabolic Agents on the UFC Prohibited List, from an out-of-competition sample collected on September 24, 2025, in Feira de Santana, Brazil. Upon notification of this adverse analytical finding from the laboratory, the UFC immediately removed Lucindo Bezerra from her scheduled bout on December 13, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Throughout CSAD’s investigation, the evidence collected indicated that Lucindo Bezerra did not intentionally use mesterolone to gain a performance advantage. She cooperated fully with CSAD’s investigation, including submitting to a detailed interview and providing official government documentation from a Brazilian pharmacy where she obtained compounded dietary supplements prior to the adverse finding. The documentation indicated that the pharmacy regularly compounded products containing mesterolone and could not rule out the possibility that legal dietary supplements provided to Lucindo Bezerra may have been inadvertently contaminated with mesterolone.
