Keith Kizer, the heavily-criticized head of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, has announced today that he will be stepping down from his position. Kizer has been given a job in the Nevada State Attorney General’s office and will be leaving the NSAC, effective immediately.
Keith Kizer leaving the Nevada State Athletic Commission
Bleacher Report’s Jeremy Botter reported the news via his Twitter account earlier today, having received an e-mail from Kizer’s office.
No replacement has been announced for Kizer at this time. The announcement comes in the lead-up to the much-anticipated request for a therapeutic use exemption for TRT to be made by Vitor Belfort in advance of his tentatively scheduled fight with UFC Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman.
