The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) has revoked the fight license of the MMA legend and fined him $2,500 after he tested positive for steroids in February, according to public records obtained by MMA Fighting.

Shamrock won't be able to re-apply for a license until March 4, 2017, per Texas Combative Sports director Greg Alvarez. Though the revocation happened in Texas, it's likely that other states will reciprocate the ban.

Shamrock, 52, tested positive for nandrolone and methadone in an in-competition test in relation to his Bellator 149 fight against Royce Gracie in February.
