The information was released by the newspaper “International Business Times”. According to the publication, Vemola, his partner Sarah Sharp and her parents were convicted by the Hertfordshire court, in England, of conspiracy and illegal cultivation of marijuana.

According to the police report, made during Vemola's arrest, the former fighter was carrying the equivalent of £18,2 in marijuana (approximately R$102, at the current price).

Vemola ended his career with a record of 16 wins and five losses. In the UFC, however, the fighter did not have a good run, obtaining only two triumphs and four setbacks. In his last fight in the octagon, the Czech was submitted by the Brazilian Gaius Monster, at the TUF Brasil 2 Finale, held in 2013, in Fortaleza (CE).
