The former champion Brock Lesnar was one of those who suffered the most: caught in an anti-doping test after a fight with Mark Hunt At UFC 200, the American was suspended for a year from the sport, in addition to having to pay a heavy fine of US$250. The victory over Hunt was also turned into a No Contest.
Yes, Jon Jones received a one-year punishment, similar to the one imposed on him by USADA. “Bones” stated that he ingested a contaminated sexual stimulant and, as a result, failed the drug test before his fight against Daniel Cormier for the unification of the light heavyweight title, which would take place at UFC 200.
Finally, Nate diaz received a fine of US$50 for his role in the confusion during the pre-UFC 202 press conference. At the time, he left the fighters' table and, when his then opponent Conor McGregor arrived, the two began exchanging insults and threw water bottles at each other.
