The Professional Fighters League (PFL) has officially announced its partnership with the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in a memorandum sent to fighters and their teams by the organization's president Ray Sefo.
We are proud to announce that today we are formally launching the PFL Anti-Doping Program in partnership with the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). USADA conducts year-round, independent anti-doping programs for all Olympic, Paralympic, and UFC athletes, and will now do so for PFL athletes as well. This program is part of the PFL’s commitment as a fighter first organization to supporting a safe, level playing field and advancing the highest levels of competition and the integrity of the sport.

The suspended athletes include 2022 light heavyweight champion Rob Wilkinson, 2021 heavyweight champion Bruno Cappelozza, former UFC title challenger Thiago Santos, former UFC fighter Krzysztof Jotko and Rizvan Kuniev.
