"Justin Jaynes is just about out of chances. The UFC veteran was suspended for 18 months during a Nevada State Athletic Commission meeting on Wednesday after testing positive for a cocaine metabolite in relation to his victory over Marlon Gonzales at Tuff-N-Uff 149 on Oct. 25. Jaynes, who will not be eligible to compete again until April 25, 2027, was also fined $200, which amounts to 40% of his purse for the bout."
""I have a problem, the third drug offense," said NSAC chairman Dallas Haun. "The proposed adjudication agreement I think is fine, but I think we need to add that if Mr. Jaynes comes back for any drug-related [offense] then he will be barred from the state of Nevada permanently, would be my input." The other commissioners agreed with the terms of Haun's proposal, so Jaynes will receive a lifetime ban if he fails a fourth drug test in Nevada."
Justin Jaynes was suspended for 18 months and fined $200 after testing positive for a cocaine metabolite related to his Oct. 25 Tuff-N-Uff 149 victory over Marlon Gonzales. Jaynes will be ineligible to compete until April 25, 2027. The positive test represents his third anti-doping violation in Nevada; previous failures were for marijuana in June 2021 and for the diuretic furosemide in 2024. NSAC chairman Dallas Haun and the commissioners imposed harsher consequences and stipulated that a fourth drug-related offense in Nevada would trigger a lifetime ban. Jaynes fought five times in the UFC (2020–2021) and is 2-3 on the regional circuit since.
