Retired MMA legend Wanderlei Silva is asking the court to review his lifetime ban by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
“It’s an appeal to a judge to hear this legal issue that the NSAC gave short shrift to,” Goodman told MMAjunkie. “They didn’t even address it. They just said, ‘Motion denied.’ This whole thing has just been one big kangaroo court, and now we’re about to get a real hearing. That (NSAC) decision was predetermined.”
“They’re saying Wanderlei was running from the tester, but they’re running,” he said. “They took the full 60 days to file the (official ruling against Silva), which just delays it. Now that I’ve got it, I took a day to file my petition.”
