Ketlen Vieira has been handed a six-month suspension following a positive drug test after her August 22 fight against Cris Cyborg.

Ketlen Vieira has been issued a six-month suspension following a positive drug test related to her August 22 bout against Cris Cyborg in Tampa, Florida. The suspension, as reported by Sherdog, stems from findings discovered after the high-profile matchup between the two Brazilian competitors.

The circumstances surrounding the event have drawn attention, with Cris Cyborg describing the situation as "extremely unusual" in recent comments regarding the post-fight developments. The suspension effectively sidelines Vieira from competition for half a year as a result of the violation.

This development serves as a significant update for those tracking the roster status of the bantamweight division. Fantasy MMA managers should note that Vieira is unavailable for any upcoming cards for the duration of this administrative sanction.
