After Ryan Garcia defeated Devin Haney, fans cheered for him. However, it did not take long for those cheers to turn into boos. KingRy tested positive for Ostarine, a drug that is banned from the sport.

Devin Haney went further claiming he is suing Ryan Garcia. The fighter claims KingRy caused a lot of damage due to the failed drug test. The Dream lost a lot of money in this battle and is willing to fight for it through court.
