Last week the Nevada State Athletic Commission overturned a TKO victory by Trevin Jones due to a positive drug test for marijuana. Jones was suspended 4.5 months and fined $1,800 out of his $12,000 reported purse.
Jones’ August 22nd victory over Timur Valiev was changed to a no-contest. In addition, he will have to pay costs and attorney fees related to the disciplinary hearing.

Payout Perspective:
An unfortunate penalty for Harris as he only made $12,000 for his win. The problem here is that the Commission notes that he provided misleading information on his Pre-Fight Medical Questionnaire since he did not reveal he used marijuana. There is no word as to whether he would be punished by the UFC as a violation of its anti-doping policy.
