Former UFC heavyweight Rob Broughton will be spending the next eight and a half years in prison after he was sentenced in the United Kingdom for his role in a drug ring that involved millions in cash and cocaine.
According to the Liverpool Echo, Broughton was arrested in connection with a criminal ring run by brothers Alan and John Tobin, who reportedly supplied huge amounts of drugs to various gangs around England. While their primary business was cocaine, the drug ring also dealt in heroin, cannabis and ketamine.
Broughton was convicted after he served as the “muscle” and an “enforcer” for the Tobin brothers as he transported large amounts of cash and collected debts from people who owed them money.
