The Nevada State Athletic Commission has suspended Bevon Lewis
six months for a positive marijuana test stemming from his Nov. 7
bout at UFC on ESPN 17.
Lewis, who was also fined $1,200, will be eligible to return to
action on May 7 pending payment of his fine and $145.36 in legal
fees. Lewis’ sanction was determined at a monthly NSAC meeting on
Wednesday.
Lewis suffered a third-round technical knockout loss to Trevin
Giles at UFC on ESPN 17. The Dana White’s Contender Series alum
went 1-3 within the Las Vegas-based promotion before
reportedly being released late last year.
