By David Tees on 10/3/2013 9:31 PM

The Ultimate Fighting Championships has suspended heavyweight fighter Ben Rothwell for nine months for failing a post-fight drug test at UFC 164 for elevated testosterone levels. UFC officials decided to suspend Rothwell because the Wisconsin Department Of Safety & Professional Service, which oversaw UFC 164, decided not to suspend him. At UFC 164, Rothwell defeated Brandon Vera via third round TKO, no word yet on if the bout will be changed to a no contest.
