  Once again the ignorant masses are herded by an ignorant and agenda-driven media to believe that steroids and other PEDs should be banned
from athletes who wish to take them.  I don't care if a guy takes amphetamines, Anadrol, marijuana, etc.  I just want to see the best a guy can be
against the best another guy can be.  It's like living in the Victorian Age with all these damn socially imposed morals imposed by guys who have no idea
or who have never strived to become great at anything requiring physical determination, work and guts.
  America has refused to let men be men and it shows in EVERY facet of American life, values and foreign policy.

[oldschoolfan]

[NickEdge779]

fuck yeah you got that right harley- but other leagues like the nfl and nba drug use is rampant

this is total bullshit 5 years  and his career for smoke some grass wtf   

[Nails]

i read some artical that 99.8 Percent of NBA players smoke the reefer

that is on the low end of the estimation however could be close to 99.9 percent

   Very convenient for Dana White to house the UFC in a state which legalizes gambling, a pastime one could seriously argue is not only more
addictive than marijuana, but far more detrimental to not only the person himself, but also to his entire family.
   Dana plays $50,000 per hand- - yes, I know this to be true- but can come down as some Moral Warlord on Diaz for smoking pot?
   The UFC doesn't really want the best fighters to be at their best.  They want guys they can control and who the hell can control any of the
Diaz Brothers?
   I say they set up fights and just charge an Internet "Pay Per View" and sell tickets at a small venue.  Something like Metamoris does for their
BJJ matches.  If marketed correctly, they can make very good money and on their own terms.  I know because I did the contract for Royler Gracie
when he fought Eddie Bravo at Metamoris ll.

[King Shizzo]

What a waste of talent. While I agree that the punishment is rediculous, how many times can you be stupid enough to fail a test? He has nobody to blame but himself.

He obviously didnt take his fighting career seriously enough.

[oldschoolfan]

harley i think we can both agree the ufc ownership is all about total power and  having complete control

[Europe]

sources are telling me they're planning to sue Nevada Commission a la Tom Brady.

Nick Diaz speak the truth!!

[SF1900]

Must suck to get suspended from the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition.

[HarleyBreite]

Hey Guys,
  Not that Nick Diaz needs me, but I offer my legal and managerial services to him for free if he likes.  
  He could become very financially stable under the right management with a career that has him fighting several times per month
in smaller venues with Internet "Pay Per View" type revenue.  Another big benefit would be that he could seek his own sponsors and
negotiate with them as he sees fit and not be made to choke down a pittance of sponsorship "money" from the UFC and not be forced
to wear that ridiculous uniform which is meant just as much to stifle all individuality as it is to reduce the fighter's pay but not the UFC's.
  If Nick were my client, I would tell him to do whatever the hell he wants AS LONG AS he makes weight and shows up to the fight.  He's a
professional and scared of no one so that part is easy.

So is alcohol, so you should not get punished driving drunk? I mean.. it doesn't even improve anyone's driving performance. Get it?

   No one else is put in harm's way by Nick having marijuana in his system when he enters the cage.  Driving drunk risks the lives of everyone else.

[Kwon_2]

To the NSAC

[titusisback]

So it's ok if the fighter puts himself in harm's way? Imagine the lawsuits if that was allowed....

[Wiggs]

That sucks

And to top it off the test results were inconsistent!  This whole situation is egregious!

Sounds like the IFBB.  Is Dana White related to Jim Manion?

[The Ugly]

Unreasonable penalty for sure; nevertheless, Nick has always been quite the dopey manchild. He really should consider hiring someone to do all his thinking and speaking from here on out.

Great post.  I fucking hate this brave new world, run by a bunch of cuckolded elitist control freaks.

ANd fuck the UFC, I have slowly lost interest in this circus.  I guess that is what the Elitist Fertitta Pigs wanted was to alienate the original fan base and appeal to betas and feminists all so they can earn an extra million a year.

No doubt he has acquired brain injury, but it is exactly his rawness and non-managed persona that sees him have such a large fan-base. Diaz could never pull of such manufactured PR like the Georges St Pierres or Ronda Rousey's of the world.

We all know the boss is obviously running cycles.
