UFC contender returns from 9-month suspension in late addition to the UFC 333 card

Strawweight contender Iasmin Lucindo is set to return to competition at UFC 333 on October 19 in Abu Dhabi, facing Nicolle Caliari. The 24-year-old Brazilian earned the late booking after completing a nine-month suspension stemming from a failed drug test in late 2025.

Combat Sports Anti-Doping concluded that Lucindo's positive test was likely caused by a contaminated supplement. With her suspension backdated to September 2025, she has been cleared to fight Caliari, who enters the matchup with a 1-2 promotional record.
