Once considered the greatest MMA fighter of all time, "The Spider's" legacy has been tainted after testing positive for performance enhancing drugs before and after his January 31 fight against Nick Diaz.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission was unconvinced by Silva's defense that the positive test was caused by a tainted sexual performance supplement and handed him a one-year suspension.
The earliest he can return to the Octagon is February 2016.
His victory against Diaz has also been overturned into a no contest and he has been fined a total of $380,000. – ANC, Dateline Philippines, Aug. 14, 2015
