Former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva has been suspended one year and fined $380,000 by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) following the failed drug test at UFC 183. The suspension will be retroactive to when he failed the drug test, which was on January 31st of this year, that means he can return to action on January 31st of 2016. At UFC 183, Silva returned from a serious leg injury to defeat Nick Diaz by decision, Diaz also failed a post fight drug test and his hearing will take place later this year.
