Dequan Townsend has accepted a six-month suspension from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). The suspension comes after Townsend (18-8 MMA, 0-1 UFC) was flagged for an in-competition urine test that detected the presence of cocaine metabolites. USADA announced the suspension Wednesday. Townsend’s upcoming fight against Bevon Lewis at UFC on ESPN+ 24 on Jan. 25 will not be effected because the suspension is retroactive to the date before his June 28 UFC debut
