NYSAC fines Kelvin Gastelum, Rafael Cordeiro and Corey Anderson for UFC 244 actions

Three people – two fighters and a coach – have been fined by the New York State Athletic Commission in the wake of UFC 244.

Middleweight Kelvin Gastelum was docked $1,000 for making contact with his coach Rafael Cordeiro at the official weigh-ins for this past Saturday’s event. Cordeiro also was fined $200.

Additionally, the NYSAC handed down the maximum fine possible – $10,000 – to UFC light heavyweight Corey Anderson for “unsportsmanlike and disorderly conduct” following his upset win over Johnny Walker. Anderson appeared to shove away the referee during his post-fight celebration.
