Ashlee Evans-Smith Manager Mike McLeish first learned that his client, Ashlee Evans-Smith (3-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC), had failed a drug test when a UFC executive called him. He’s still waiting to hear from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which oversaw Evans-Smith’s fight against Raquel Pennington (5-4 MMA, 2-1 UFC) at this past month’s UFC 181. “We have no idea what they’re talking about,” he told MMAjunkie. McLeish said UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby called this past week to report the commission allegedly found a diuretic in Evans-Smith’s system following her fight, which ended in a first-round submission loss. (MMAjunkie could not reach Shelby for comment, as UFC executives are typically not authorized to give public statements to the media.) McLeish was told Evans-Smith faced a six-month suspension and needed to assemble a list of supplements to present to the commission, which would be calling him shortly
