The Nevada State Athletic Commission today voted unanimously to issue a 12-month suspension to former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva for multiple banned substances found in his system before and after a unanimous-decision victory over Nick Diaz at UFC 183.
The commission also fined Silva (33-6 MMA, 16-2 UFC) a total of $380,000 and overturned his decision victory over Diaz (26-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC). His suspension is retroactive to the date of his Jan. 31 headliner in Las Vegas, meaning he is clear to compete Jan. 31, 2016. Per the terms of his suspension, he will need to provide a clean drug test prior to relicensing.
