Jessica Penne still doesn’t have a resolution when she will be able to fight again, but it appears she will avoid the costly legal fees associated with an arbitration hearing with USADA.
On Wednesday, Penne’s manager Brian Butler of Suckerpunch Entertainment suspended the GoFundMe campaign he started in order to help the veteran strawweight raise funds for an arbitration hearing with the UFC’s anti-doping partner.
“We will be closing the campaign today,” Butler wrote. “We have been working with UFC and our legal team diligently and it looks like USADA and our legal team are close to reaching an outcome that will avoid the full costs of an arbitration.
