Retired MMA legend Wanderlei Silva is asking the court to review his lifetime ban by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Silva lawyer Ross Goodman today filed a petition for judicial review in Clark County (Nev.) District Court, seeking to overturn the commission’s ruling in September which effectively barred the fighter from professional competition. “It’s an appeal to a judge to hear this legal issue that the NSAC gave short shrift to,” Goodman told MMAjunkie. “They didn’t even address it. They just said, ‘Motion denied.’ This whole thing has just been one big kangaroo court, and now we’re about to get a real hearing.
