UFC strawweight Jaqueline Amorim has accepted a six-month suspension for violating the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, following the detection of low levels of ostarine in two out-of-competition tests. The Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) agency, which administers the UFC’s anti-doping program, determined that the positive findings were consistent with exposure to a contaminated supplement rather than intentional use.
Details of the Violation
Amorim's samples, collected on July 29 and August 17, 2026, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, revealed the presence of ostarine, a prohibited non-Specified Substance classified as an Anabolic Agent. Ostarine is banned at all times under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy.
According to a statement from CSAD, as reported by NDTV Sports and MMA Weekly, an investigation into the matter concluded that the findings were consistent with contamination. Factors contributing to this determination included Amorim's testing history, the low concentrations of ostarine found in both samples, her use of multiple dietary supplements that had not undergone third-party testing and certification, and the known prevalence of ostarine contamination in dietary supplements globally. The agency also noted that the evidence did not suggest Amorim's exposure provided her with any significant performance advantage.
Amorim's period of ineligibility commenced on August 17, 2026, the date she was notified of her provisional suspension. Her six-month suspension is set to conclude on February 17, 2027.
Amorim's UFC Career
Jaqueline Amorim, who was 30 years old at the time of her last fight, holds a UFC record of 5-2-0 across seven UFC fights. Known for her grappling prowess, Amorim has secured several impressive victories within the Octagon. Her most recent outing was in May 2026 at UFC Fight Night: Song vs. Figueiredo, where she defeated Loma Lookboonmee by submission via armbar in the first round, at four minutes and four seconds. The pre-fight market had placed her chances of winning that bout at 56%.
Prior to this, Amorim had a unanimous decision loss to Mizuki in October 2025 at UFC 321: Aspinall vs. Gane. However, she had built a strong submission streak before that, including a second-round rear-naked choke victory over Polyana Viana in April 2025 and first-round armbar finishes against Vanessa Demopoulos in September 2024 and Cory McKenna in March 2024. Her offensive grappling statistics reflect her style, with an average of 1.3 takedowns per fight at a 71% accuracy rate before her last fight.
Currently, Jaqueline Amorim does not have a next booked UFC fight on the schedule, and she will be eligible to return to competition in mid-February 2027.
