The Nevada attorney general’s office has filed a formal complaint against Wanderlei Silva , asking the commission to hold the fighter responsible for evading a random drug test and his admitted illicit drug use in advance of an ill-fated meeting with Chael Sonnen at UFC 175. Although Silva was unlicensed at the time of his offenses, the complaint defines him as an “unarmed combatant” who is subject to the NSAC’s rules on banned substances. The AG’s office argues that Silva (35-12-1 MMA, 5-7 UFC) promoted his fight with Sonnen and “knew he was a contestant for UFC 175.” “An unarmed combatant shall submit to a urinalysis or chemical test if the commission or a representative of the commission directs him or her to do so,” states the complaint, filed July 31, which was obtained today by MMAjunkie and will be posted shortly
