The Australian Martial Arts Commission refused to open an investigation into the case of Makhachev
The Australian Combat Commission has refused to open an investigation into a possible anti-doping rule violation by Russian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Islam Makhachev. It is reported by MMA News.
“We have no conclusive evidence that any athlete at UFC 284 violated the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) or the Commission,” the organization said in a statement. It is clarified that the proceedings will not begin until someone files an official complaint against the Russian or provides reliable data confirming his guilt.

On February 13, New Zealand fighter Dan Hooker revealed that Makhachev went to doctors in Australia to get a drip for dehydration after a weight race, which is prohibited by the rules of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The same claims against the Russian were expressed by the Australian Alexander Volkanovski.
On February 12, Makhachev defeated Volkanovski at UFC 284 by unanimous decision. He defended the organization’s lightweight title for the first time.
In total, in his professional career, Makhachev won 24 victories and suffered one defeat.
