Lesnar, Jon Jones won’t face UFC fine

[Wild]

Brock Lesnar and Jon Jones share something more in common than just their former billing as UFC 200 headliners.

The banned substance Lesnar tested positive for in in-competition and out-of-competition drug tests in relation to his UFC 200 fight with Mark Hunt was hydroxy-clomiphene. ESPN and the LA Times were the first to report the news earlier this week.

Jones also tested positive for clomiphene, an anti-estrogen agent, as well as Letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, before what would have been a main event fight with Daniel Cormier at UFC 200.

After an adjudication process, the NAC has the power to suspend and fine both Jones and Lesnar. In Lesnar's case, the fine would be a percentage of his disclosed $2.5 million fight purse. USADA can also suspend them as the UFC's anti-doping partner.

The UFC will not be levying fines against anti-doping offenders, leaving fines up to individual state athletic commissions, according to senior vice president of public relations Dave Sholler.

While I like the idea of promoters being restricted from fleecing the athletes, this essentially means Mark Hunt isn't getting anything.

This is a good point. Wonder how that's all going to work out, because Hunt's right...why should the NSAC get a % of Lesnar's pay? None of those clowns were in there, getting their brains beat in.

I'm glad the UFC is taking the lead role here in the anti-doping sports world...:/

Obviously there was mutual understanding with Brock.
And Jones is Jones.

Has the UFC levied fines against anyone for dope?

Jon Jones vs Lesnar will probably headline Wrestlemania next year. Maybe around that time Mark Hunt will have moved on and can finish his last few years at least having exciting fights vs top 10 guys.
