Back in March, former welterweight contender and surging middleweight star Kelvin Gastelum scored an incredible, first-round knockout win over MMA legend Vitor Belfort.<\/a> Unfortunately, this loss has been scratched from Gastelum’s record, and replaced with the words “no contest.”<\/p>\n

Shortly after his defeat of Belfort, news broke that Gastelum had tested positive for the banned substance\u00a0carboxy-tetrahydrocannabinol \u2013 more commonly known as THC, which is a key metabolite in marijuana. With this news, Gastelum was yanked from a planned middleweight bout with another Brazilian legend in Anderson Silva<\/a>, and temporarily suspended.<\/p>\n

Now, he has received his sentencing.<\/p>\n

Part of his sentencing, of course, is that his defeat of Belfort has been overturned \u2013 though the majority of fans will probably still consider it a win, as he only tested positive for marijuana. In addition to this new and ugly no contest on his record, Gastelum will have to return 20% of his purse to the sanctioning\u00a0Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA). He’s also been handed a 90-day suspension, retroactive to the date of his failed test (March 11).<\/p>\n

This news was first reported by Combate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking to MMAJunkie.com<\/a>, a representative from the Superior Tribunal de Justica Desportiva do MMA (STJDMMA) explained Gastelum’s situation:<\/p>\n

\u201cMarcelo Sedlmayer Jorge, president of the Superior Sports Justice Court \u2013 MMA and the entity\u2019s attorney (Emmanuel Guedes Ferreira), in a joint effort with CABMMA, represented by Cristiano Sampaio, have formalized an agreement with the athlete Kelvin Gastelum, his lawyers and USADA.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe athlete has officially confessed to the use of the Carboxy-THC substance, has publicly apologized. The athlete makes a commitment not to break any other norm of the sport, under risk of aggravated penalties due to repeated offense.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
