Maryna Moroz In Bikini Told 'Not Looking Good,' Should 'Focus On Fighting'

UFC fighter Maryna Moroz is no stranger to attention online, but her latest social media snap has sparked a wave of mixed reactions, including one harsh comment suggesting she should spend less time posing and more time focusing on her career inside the octagon. In the photo, Moroz stands confidently in front of a mirror while snapping her selfie on her phone. She sports a light gray sports bra paired with a pair of green bikini bottoms, highlighting her toned abs and powerful legs, the kind of physique that comes from years of training and competing at the highest level of MMA.

While many fans responded with heart emojis and supportive comments, not everyone had something positive to say. One critic left a blunt message under the post that quickly stood out. “Not looking good… you should probably focus on fighting and becoming world champion,” the user wrote.

Moroz’s fighting schedule has actually been impacted recently following a ruling tied to the UFC’s anti-doping program.

Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) announced that the fighter accepted a one-year period of ineligibility after testing positive for meldonium, a substance banned at all times under the UFC’s prohibited list in the category of Hormones and Metabolic Modulators.

According to CSAD, the positive tests came from out-of-competition samples collected in Boca Raton, Florida, on June 25, 2025, and July 16, 2025. Because Moroz had not yet been notified of the first adverse finding at the time the second sample was taken, the two results were treated as a single violation under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy.

Moroz did provide medical documentation explaining that she had been under the care of a licensed physician who prescribed meldonium to treat reported medical symptoms. However, the investigation found that Moroz did not inform her physician that she was a drug-tested athlete, something that could have impacted the treatment decision.

Officials also noted that Moroz did not consult UFC-provided resources to confirm whether the substance was banned, nor did she submit a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) request, the formal process athletes must follow if they need to take a prohibited medication for legitimate medical reasons.

Because those steps were not taken, the presence of meldonium in her system ultimately resulted in the anti-doping violation and subsequent suspension.

Combat Sports Anti-Doping officials also reviewed additional evidence submitted by Moroz during the investigation into the violation. According to CSAD, the fighter stated that she used meldonium for only a limited period of time and that she did not have any bouts scheduled during the timeframe in which the substance was used.

Moroz also participated in a detailed interview with investigators, and CSAD ultimately determined that she met the “complete cooperation” clause outlined in the UFC Anti-Doping Policy. Because of that cooperation, officials decided to reduce the standard two-year sanction typically issued for meldonium violations. Instead, Moroz received a one-year suspension.

The suspension officially began on July 17, 2025, the date she was first notified of her provisional suspension. Her 12-month period of ineligibility is set to conclude on July 17, 2026, meaning the UFC flyweight could potentially return to competition later that year.
