Even with the worldwide legalization of cannabis, athletic commissions in the United States remain strict with their regulations.
Most recently, welterweight Niko Price became the last casualty of the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s marijuana sanctions when he received a six-month suspension along with an $8,500 fine. His September fight against Donald Cerrone was also switched from a draw to a No Contest.
Among those who also also dealt with the NSAC’s anti-cannabis regulations is light heavyweight Jamahal Hill, who was handed a six-month suspension for marijuana use in relation to his May fight against Klidson Abreu.
