Wanderlei Silva files motion to dismiss lawsuit, says Belfort test evidence of UFC cheating

Attorneys for Wanderlei Silva have filed a motion to dismiss the UFC's lawsuit against him, citing Vitor Belfort's lab results as evidence that the UFC was "cheating"

Attorneys for Wanderlei Silva have filed a motion to dismiss the UFC's lawsuit against the renowned MMA fighter with the Clark County, Nevada District Court on Friday, October 3, 2015. The motion claims that the UFC's suit is an attempt "to chill Silva's free speech" and "public participation" as well as send a message to other fighters, and that Silva comments about "cheating" and "fight-fixing" received additional credibility with Vitor Belfort's recently revealed lab results.
