Peralta most recently fought Akira Corassani at UFC on FUEL TV 9: Mousasi vs. Latifi. Peralta dropped a unanimous decision to Corassani, his first loss in four years.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I just want to apologize to all my friends, family, fans and to the UFC for what I did. I&#8217;m going to have to suffer the consequences, but the main thing is that I apologize to all the people I let down &#8211; my coaches, my team.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been going through some emotional things these past six months. When my grandma passed away in March, that&#8217;s when I made the dumb choice of smoking. We had the funeral and had a few drinks and started making bad choices. I regretted it the next day, but I&#8217;m not here to make excuses for myself. I did what I did.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s good in a way so that I never make that mistake again. It&#8217;s not worth it. It&#8217;s not worth [jeopardizing] my career. I have a lot of things going for me right now, and I just have to realize that. All of this is new for me, being in the public eye, this whole thing. I&#8217;m trying to get adjusted to it little by little and just keep moving on. I just have to make sure this doesn&#8217;t happen again and that I&#8217;m stronger mentally.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Peralta now faces a six-month suspension and a stint in a drug-rehabilitation center for the failed test. As these suspensions go, the punishment is retro-active to the time of the fight which means that he is eligible to return to the Octagon on October 6th of this year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For the latest MMA news visit <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\">BJPENN.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; In a statement given to Sherdog.com, UFC featherweight, Robbie Peralta apologized for his recent failed drug test after a post-fight screening came back positive for marijuana metabolites.
