NSAC fines, suspends Brock Lesnar, overturns win against Mark Hunt

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar has been suspended from mixed martial arts (MMA) by Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) following a pair of positive drug tests before and after UFC 200.

Lesnar, who flunked an out-of-competition exam ahead of his combat sports return, blew up his second drug test -- in competition -- for the “Tate vs. Nunes” pay-per-view (PPV) extravaganza, which took place earlier this year in Las Vegas, Nevada.

As a result, Lesnar will be forced to pay a $250,000 fine and his unanimous decision win over Mark Hunt is expected to be changed to a “no contest,” which may or may not mend a few fences for the “Super Samoan” (or not).
