While Nelson managed to secure a second-round KO victory, he was certainly not pleased with referee John McCarthy and believed it was a late stoppage.The former UFC fighter then proceeded toward John McCarthy, who checked up on Antonio Silva and kicked him. It was a poor show of sportsmanship. As a result, unlike the instances when a fighter attacks a referee while being concussed, Roy Nelson was suspended for nine months and fined $24,000.Watch the video below:After serving the nine-month suspension, the former UFC fighter returned to face Alexander Volkov in April 2017. However, his return did not go as planned and he suffered a unanimous decision loss. The bout proved to be his last in the UFC as he then went on to sign a deal with Bellator.
