Im so happy right now. Been following this guy since his first pro fight. First Norwegian UFC fighter in the UFC since Simeon Thoresen in 2013. Lots of character, and an amazing fighter. War Emil Meek!

Emil Weber Meek is out of his fight in Hamburg due to receiving medical treatment that could cause problem with USADA.

“As part of the athlete onboarding process, Emil Meek voluntarily disclosed medical treatment he received prior to signing with UFC that is potentially out of compliance with UFC’s Anti-Doping Policy. As a result, Meek will not compete in his previously scheduled bout on September 3, 2016 in Hamburg, Germany in order to allow him time to consult with his physician and evaluate his medical treatment.
“Given Meek’s medical treatment occurred before his signing with UFC, he is not subject to any potential anti-doping violations under the policy relating to that treatment. However, UFC is requiring Meek to be enrolled in USADA’s registered testing pool for a period of four months before he is placed on a fight card in the future.”

From Meeks Facebook:
Dear Valhalla Army....
It is with an heavy heart and axe I write this.
Due to medical reasons as stated in the UFC press release below, my entrance to the UFC cage is postponed for later this year.
For all my friends and supporters in the
‪#‎
ValhallaArmy‬
who has bought tickets to the fight in Hamburg - I'm truly sorry. I am devastated, but be sure... I am coming to Hamburg to watch the tournament with you, and we are gonna make it an epic night, not soon forgotten.
I got signed up for the debut fight before my enrollment in the UFC was complete.
Going from Venator to UFC involves a way stricter regiment as to what kind of medication I’m allowed to use.
We have decided it was not worth the risk. The result was pulling out of my upcoming fight in Hamburg. It changes nothing when it comes to my relationship with UFC, other than that my debut in the Octagon will be pushed to around December.
Let me stress that I have not failed any drug test whatsoever! This is merely a preliminary precaution.
I've been enrolled with USADA’s registered testing pool to prepare since for my bout since June. As a fighter I'm happy and personally, I feel safer to compete under the USADA's anti-doping policy.
I feel sorry for Jessin Ayari, I hope we can fight another day!
