Thiago Silva suspended 6 months
By Brett Okamoto
ESPN.com

Thiago Silva has been suspended six months after testing positive for marijuana metabolites following his fight against Stanislav Nedkov earlier this month.

Silva (15-3) defeated Nedkov via submission in the third round of their co-main event at the UFC on Fuel event in Macau. The decision, however, will be changed to a no-contest due to Silva's suspension.

UFC officials confirmed the light heavyweight's failed drug test and suspension to ESPN.com on Wednesday. Silva also will attend a drug rehab program.

"The UFC organization has a strict, consistent policy against the use of illegal drugs," the promotion stated in a release. "Silva has admitted to taking the banned substance and agreed to participate in an approved drug-rehabilitation program and serve the six-month suspension."

The suspension dates retroactively to Nov. 10. Silva must pass a drug test prior to fighting again.

The Brazilian was suspended for one year following a win over Brandon Vera in January 2011 for submitting a fake urine sample to the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The win was later changed to a no-contest.

Fuck dude, that's his second one.. Might never see him back in the UFC..

lol nah, if he didnt get cut for injecting horse piss down his uretha last time he wont get cut for weed either

Last time was for irregular urine or some shit pretty much meaning he had used a masking agent, no??

isn't he a soccer player

I don't think he'll get cut for weed either. He's probably never going to be in a high profile main or co-main event spot ever again though not because weed is so bad, but because how fucking stupid could you be to piss hot in back to back fights? They'll probably just keep him around to fight on Brazil cards.

He was clean for the Gustoffson fight..

That's right. My bad. Still, two losses and two no contests in his last four fights don't look good, even though one of those losses was to Rashad Evans.

One of my favourite fighters, but he can't afford to keep making these mistakes.

He can put some good fights, he's not going anywhere. His cutthroat post fight celebration alone should save him
