In what’s beginning to feel like a weekly occurrence, news of a fighter testing positive for a banned substance came to light today. This time it was UFC welterweight Hector Lombard.

Lombard (35-4-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC), who earned his third consecutive UFC victory when he defeated Josh Burkman (27-11 MMA, 5-6 UFC) by unanimous decision at UFC 182, tested positive for the designer steroid desoxymethyltestosterone following the Jan. 3 event in Las Vegas.

The Bellator MMA champion’s test results forced him out of a scheduled UFC 186 bout with Rory MacDonald and come on the heels of positive tests for various substances by other major names in the sport such as Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, Nick Diaz and Jon Fitch.

Check below for the top Twitter reactions related to Lombard’s failed drug test from fighters, fans and other personalities in the MMA community.
