Two fighters fail drug tests in wake of Bellator 137, one suspended for two years

Stop me if you've heard this one before, but Fernando Gonzalez has failed a post-fight drug test for marijuana. This time, though, he's not alone.

Bellator 137, which took place at Pechanga Resort and Casino. City, Temecula, Calif., on May 15, 2015, was problematic from the weigh-ins on forward.

Middleweight champion Brandon Halsey was heavy on the scales and ultimately had to relinquish his title (even though he went on to defeat Kendall Grove in the main event). Bantamweight Mike Richman came nowhere close to 135 pounds, stating that he "dried up" in the sauna.
