The officers initiated a traffic stop and called a K-9 unit after they &#8220;detected clandestine activity,&#8221; according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowt.com\/content\/news\/Nebraska-troopers-arrest-Iowa-man-with-121-lbs-of-pot-cocaine-steroids-THC-570383081.html\">WOWT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The K9 detected a controlled substance. A subsequent search took place in the vehicle, which uncovered the 121 pounds of marijuana, six pounds of THC concentrate, two vials of steroids, a small amount of cocaine and $14,000 in cash.<\/p>\n<p>The former UFC fighter is being held at the Buffalo County Jail and will appear in court June 17.<\/p>\n<p>Gorman also had a rocky road in the UFC. He competed twice in the mixed martial arts organization in 2014 after making an appearance on <em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/dana-white-announces-the-return-of-the-ultimate-fighter\/\">The Ultimate Fighter<\/a> 18<\/em>.

During the TUF Nations Finale, he lost the fight by unanimous decision despite earning a $50,000 &#8220;Fight of the Night&#8221; Bonus.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Gorman had his last professional competition was in June 2015. He won by submission and and improved his record to a solid 9-4, but hasn&#8217;t fought since.
