Combat Sports Anti‑Doping (CSAD) reported Idiris’s in‑competition sample from UFC Houston on Feb. 21 contained hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic listed in the Diuretics and Masking Agents class of the UFC Prohibited List. (sherdog.com (sherdog.com)) Idiris told CSAD he ingested a product containing hydrochlorothiazide on Thursday of fight week (Feb. 20) to assist with his weight cut, information the agency says he voluntarily provided. (bloodyelbow.com (bloodyelbow.com)) CSAD said it would not reduce or suspend any period of ineligibility despite Idiris’s cooperation, citing the seriousness of knowingly using a diuretic during fight week and the competitive advantage gained in making contracted weight. (mmafighting.com (mmafighting.com)) The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) has formally reclassified Idiris’s Feb. 21 bout against Ode Osbourne at UFC Houston as a No Contest under state rules that also prohibit the substance. (sherdog.com (sherdog.com)) CSAD’s action is retroactive to the date of the adverse sample, Feb. 21, 2026, with the agency listing Feb. 21, 2027 as the termination date of the period of ineligibility. (bloodyelbow.com (bloodyelbow.com)) Major fight databases and outlets show inconsistent entries while records are updated: ESPN’s fight history still lists the Feb. 21 result as a unanimous decision win pending database updates, even as CSAD and TDLR have issued their rulings.
