UFC veteran jailed for operating multiple cannabis farms

I guess Karlos Vemola wasn't paying attention when Josh Rosenthal got pinched for pot.

The former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight was sentenced to one year in jail for his role in running illegal cannabis farms in Hertfordshire, England. Also swept up by local law enforcement was his in-laws, Terrance Byman and Linda Sharp, and former partner Sarah Sharp.

That's according to a report from International Business Times (via Sherdog).

Peter Shaw, for the prosecution, said that police had found skunk cannabis worth £18,200, as well as UV lighting, ducting and plastic sheeting during raids on the three properties.
