Key Points:

UFC Flyweight Alibi Idiris has been suspended for 12 months following a positive drug test for hydrochlorothiazide, a banned diuretic and masking agent, collected on Feb. 21, 2026.
The suspension is retroactive and will last until Feb. 21, 2027, meaning Idiris will not compete again until 2027.
Idiris admitted to using the substance to aid his weight cut, but despite his cooperation, the suspension was not reduced due to the seriousness of the violation.
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has overturned Idiris' Feb. 21 victory over Ode Osbourne to a No Contest, adjusting his professional record to 10-1-1 overall and 0-1-1 in the UFC.
Prior to the suspension, Idiris lost to Joseph Morales via submission at The Ultimate Fighter 33 finale.
