yes and no.
On one hand I appreciate how it might feel to be banned not just from teh UFC but all organisations for 4 years, but on the flip side thats how it is in all other sports.
If you get banned for four years in athletics, you cant start running in different organisation, or start playing tennis.
Ultimately, sport is a privilege, not a right. If you break the rules regarding fair play, you pay the price sadly.
Its shit, but its no different to pretty much any other sport.
(its not just MMA she would be banned from, she could not take part in any sport under the wada code, so no mma, no swimming, no cycling, no running marathons, no playing tennis, that would extend to some bjj organisations as well)
she wouldn’t be banned from all of mma, just where North American commissions are applicable. What’s banning her from all orgs is the UFC would no doubt refuse to release her from her contract while she’s suspended. If she got her release she could fight in Europe or Japan no problem despite having a four year ban. Could probably fight in North America on Indian Reservations too, as I believe those shows aren’t held under any major commissions.
