According to the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) James Irvin has tested positive for Methadone and Oxymorphone. After suffering a devastating TKO loss to Anderson Silva at UFC Fight Night 14, this could end being even more painful. Apparently, Methadone and Oxymorphone are often used to treat chronic pain. Irving has 20 days to request a formal hearing, if the ruling is upheld it is said that he could be fined nearly $20,000 and suspension time.
