Roy Nelson is not getting off the hook for his controversial post-fight antics at UFC Fight Night 95.
The MMA veteran lightly kicked referee John McCarthy after knocking out Anotnio ‘BigFoot’ Silva in the second round, claiming that McCarthy issued a late stoppage and let Silva take too much unnecessary damage.
‘Big Country’ did apologize for his behavior at the post-fight press conference but said that he ‘wouldn’t take it back’.
On Wednesday, it was announced that the Brazilian Superior Justice Court of MMA (STJDMMA) suspended Nelson for nine months and issued a $24,000 fine, per MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz.
