Earlier today the Nevada State Athletic Commission, during a disciplinary hearing, decided to suspend former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva for a year as well as fining him and changing his win over Nick Diaz to a No Contest.
The ruling came after lengthy testimony and explanations from Silva and his team, which ended up hurting him instead of helping him, with strange translator issues and inconsistent stories.
Check out how the MMA world reacted to Silva’s suspension:

Always take the red pill, Anderson. The blue pill is a boner pill trap from Thailand. pic.twitter.com/NzZoRcUcTM

As an athlete one tends to question everything they put in their body including food during a camp..
