The Nevada State Athletic Commission on Monday issued reduced suspensions to a trio of UFC fighters who tested positive for marijuana in connection with recent fights.
Light heavyweight Jamahal Hill received a six-month suspension, while flyweight Tim Elliott and lightweight Luis Pena each got four-and-a-half month terms for positive pre-fight tests.
The fighters were fined a portion of their purses – amounting to 15 percent of their show purse. They were also asked to pay court costs in addition to providing clean drug tests at specific intervals and pay the fines – or reach a payment arrangement – prior to applying for another fight license in Nevada.
