Anderson Silva was not the only MMA fighter to be punished at the hearing held by the Nevada Athletic Commission this Thursday (13). Jake Shields, Rousimar Toquinho e Gaius Monster They also suffered temporary punishments for unsportsmanlike conduct in their last fights.
Shields and Toquinho were involved in controversy in their fight at WSOF 22, on August 1st. The Brazilian won the fight by submission and held the position for longer than necessary, which angered the North American, who punched his rival after the referee interrupted. Therefore, both fighters remain suspended until the definitive judgment, which should take place at the Commission's next hearing, in September.
Monstro also received a penalty for an attitude he had after his most recent fight. In July, the Brazilian was submitted by Josh Samman at the TUF 21 Finale, on July 12th. Annoyed, Caio spat at the North American as soon as the fight was over. Just like what happened with Shields and Toquinho, the Brazilian will be judged definitively next month.
