Henrique will not be able to fight for 2 years.

Jose Henrique was barred for 2 years for a USADA violation, and the fighter accepted the punishment.

UFC signed him recently, and he was up to debut in the world’s most famous fighting organization, but Jose had tested positive for metabolites. He will be able to fight again on March 8th, 2025.

“Before being part of the UFC Anti-Doping Program, fighters must declare prohibited substances they have used in the last year,” USADA shared with the media.

Jose (6-1) signed with the UFC at 20 years old in March after his impressive 3rd round knockout win against Alan Silva at a Shooto Brazil event.
