A former UFC fighter was arrested for five drug-related charges.
Ex-UFC fighter Tim Gordon was arrested Sunday night in Nebraska. According to the Buffalo County police department, Gorman is being held on $250,000 bond. He was arrested for two counts of a possession of controlled substance, two counts of possession with intent to deliver, and one count of possession of money while in violation.
According to a report from WOWT, Gorman was the subject of a traffic stop after a state trooper saw him driving his vehicle on the shoulder of Interstate 80 around 7 p.m. local time. Upon detection of “clandestine activity,” a K-9 unit was sent in and a controlled substance was detected.
Upon entering and searching the vehicle, state troopers discovered
“121 pounds of marijuana, six pounds of THC concentrate, two vials of steroids, a small amount of cocaine, and $14,000 in cash,” the report states.
Government records show Gorman (9-4 MMA) is currently being held at the Buffalo County Jail in Kearney, Neb. His court date has been scheduled for June 17.
Gorman, 37, competed twice in the UFC in 2014 after a stint on “The Ultimate Fighter 18.” While Gorman won his fight to get into the TUF house, he tore his hamstring and was removed from the tournament.
Despite his early exit from the reality series, Gorman was granted a UFC opportunity anyway. At the TUF Nations Finale, Gorman lost to Mitch Gagnon by unanimous decision.
At UFC Fight Night 56, Gorman was granted another chance. Taking on Thomas Almeida in enemy territory, Gorman lost another unanimous decision – only this time he earned a $50,000 bonus for “Fight of the Night.”
Gorman competed one more time professionally in June 2015, but has not fought since.
