UFC light heavyweight, Thiago Silva won’t be back in action until at least 2012 after he was slapped with a number of fines and suspensions by the Nevada State Athletic Commission earlier today after submitting a urine sample “inconsistent with human urine.”
The commission revoked the Brazilian’s licence for one year starting January 1^st 2011, fined him 25 percent of his $55,000 purse, fined $20,000 of his $55,000 win bonus and he will have to submit a clean drug test before reapplying for his licence on or after January 2^nd 2012.
