NSAC suspends and fines four UFC fighters for failed drug tests

Four UFC fighters were forced to the sidelines after they tested positive for banned substances. On Thursday, the Nevada Athletic Commission finalized the suspensions of Jamahal Hill, Luis Peña, Tim Elliott, and Deron Winn.

Per ESPN, Hill, Peña and Elliott all tested positive for cannabis, while Winn popped for amphetamines.

Peña and Elliott both received a reduced ban of four and a half months and got fined 15% of their show money. Their sanctions were lessened because both fights were taken on short notice.

Elliott’s suspension was for his May 30th fight against Brandon Royval, which he took on 12 days’ notice.
