Cody McKenzie has responded to his four-year suspension with a major allegation against the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Last week, McKenzie was hit with a four-year ban after providing a fake urine sample to the NSAC just moments before he was set to take to the cage for a Tuff-N-Uff event in Las Vegas on September 14.
McKenzie was not allowed to compete and was forced to wait two months to discover his punishment. And it was a significant one.
But the former UFC fighter has a different recollection of what happened that night as McKenzie has hit back at the NSAC by claiming that he was sexually harassed by a commission official.
The Ultimate Fighter Season 12 competitor has alleged that the commission inspector exposed himself and shook his penis in McKenzie’s direction.
“They said if I didn’t piss in a cup right before my fight — literally I was warming up — my fight was about to happen in five minutes and they’re yelling at me, telling me I need to take the piss test and I’m like, ‘No, I can’t take a piss right now. I’m warming up for my fight. I’ve never f*ckin’ taken a piss in my life before a fight. I’ve fought for 15 years. Leave me alone,’” McKenzie told MMA Fighting.
“We start fighting back and forth, they started saying we’re not going to let you fight unless you f*ckin’ piss in the cup. So I f*ckin’ just went in the bathroom and poured something in the cup and it was funny because I was telling them I wasn’t going to let them watch me pee.
“And one of the [commission inspectors] whipped out his f*ckin’ dick, ‘cause he’s like, ‘Oh, it’s not that f*ckin’ hard.’ And he takes his dick out and shakes his dick at me. I was like, ‘Dude, that’s f*ckin’ sexual harassment.’ You can’t do that. That’s bullshit, you know? There was five or six witnesses standing right there. Nothing ever came out about it. I talked to the commission about it countless times, they just keep saying there’s an investigation going on, which I haven’t heard a thing about it, they won’t talk to me about any of it. I’m like, ‘You guys are ridiculous. You guys are f*ckin’ crazy.’ That’s nuts to me. You don’t pull your dick out and shake it at somebody, especially in this day and age.”
Nevada commission executive director Bob Bennett has claimed that McKenzie’s accusations are not accurate and insisted that the allegations were being looked into.
