Ketlen Vieira was suspended for six months after a failed drug test following her PFL debut loss to Cris Cyborg in August, and Vieira confirmed it to MMA Fighting after a Sherdog report. The suspension is retroactive to the date of the fight, so she can fight again on March 22, 2027, MMA Fighting reports. In a statement, Vieira said she took medication for a knee injury after leaving the UFC and did not use it to gain an advantage in the fight. Bloody Elbow carried the same account.

Ismael Bonfim confirmed in an Instagram video that his UFC run is over, Bloody Elbow reported on Tuesday, after MMA Fighting reported on Monday that he had been removed from the roster. He missed weight by 7.5 pounds before UFC Vegas 122 and was stopped in round one by Francisco Prado. "It's not the end," Bonfim said in the video, as translated by Bloody Elbow, and he thanked the UFC for five years. We found no UFC statement.

Islam Makhachev is reportedly set to defend the welterweight title against Carlos Prates at UFC 336 on Jan. 30 in Toronto.

There is no UFC announcement, and we found no second outlet giving that date or venue.
