 The Nevada State Athletic Commission has announced that Brock Lesnar will be suspended for one year and fined $250,000 as a result of two failed drug tests at UFC 200.

Despite the fact that Brock failed a drug test leading up to UFC 200 and another on the night of the fight (July 9th), he was still allowed to compete and was able to pick up a victory over Mark Hunt.

His suspension was retroactively started in July.

Additionally, the The Nevada State Athletic Commission also announced that Nate Diaz has been $50,000 plus 50 hours of community service for the scuffle he started at the UFC 202 press conference. Conor McGregor, the other party involved in that scuffle, was hit with a $75,000 fine and ordered to film an anti-bullying PSA along with his community service.
