Rony Jason Rony Jason ’s failed UFC Fight Night 67 post-fight drug test has cost him more than a victory and nine months of his career. It’s also taken $50,000 out of his bank account. Following news that Jason (14-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) tested positive for the banned diuretic hydrochlorothiazide following his first-round submission of Damon Jackson (9-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) on May 30, UFC officials have rescinded the fighter’s $50,000 “Performance of the Night” award. The award will not be reissued to a different fighter on the card, a senior UFC official told MMAjunkie. There has been a precedent in the past for another fighter on the card to receive a bonus should one of the original winners fail a drug test. At UFC 159 in April 2013, Pat Healy tested positive for marijuana following his victory over Jim Miller.
