UFC Prohibited List
The UFC Prohibited List is the adaptable document identifying substances and methods prohibited in the UFC. Broken down by categories, the Prohibited List identifies which substances and methods are prohibited in-competition only and at all times. The UFC Prohibited List is updated annually. While the UFC Prohibited List is extensive, USADA is here to help clean athletes understand the rules and regulations.
The easiest way to check the prohibited status of medications is to visit UFC Global DRO.
