The sentence matches the prison time recommended in a January plea deal Rosenthal copped with federal prosecutors, though it shaves two years off probation. Without a deal, Rosenthal faced 10 years to life in prison, a $10 million fine and a minimum of five years’ probation. A representative for U.S. District Court judge Saundra Brown Armstrong, who issued the sentence, confirmed Rosenthal’s punishment with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). Rosenthal’s attorney could not be reached for comment. Rosenthal was arrested in April 2012 after federal agents raided an Oakland warehouse owned by Rosenthal and an associate that contained 1,356 marijuana plants worth an estimated $6 million.
