– According to f4wonline.com, the UFC has released Tom Lawlor less than two months before his two-year drug test failure suspension expired. He was planning on returning to UFC when his suspension ended on October 10th. Lawlor failed a test for low levels of Ostarine on October 10, 2016, and claimed that he had no idea how it got into his system. Lawlor has been working all over the indie scene since his suspension, becoming one of MLW’s top stars, and had been repeatedly denied his requests for a UFC release since he was suspended. Lawlor issued the following comments…

“All things come to an end and it was inevitable that so would my time in UFC. Today I was informed that I will be released by the UFC despite my USADA suspension being nearly over and my previous requests for a release being denied. While the timing is unexpected, hopefully this opens the doors for me to continue with my mixed martial arts career as well as in the squared circle. Combat sports is one of my life’s great loves and I look forward to showing and sharing that with the fans as soon as possible.”
