Nick Diaz Tests Positive For Marijuana Following Loss At UFC 143

Nick Diaz Tests Positive For Marijuana Following Loss At UFC 143

According to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, former champion tested positive for marijuana metabolites following his controversial loss to at this past weekend’s 143 event.

UFC President Dana White has issued the following statement regarding Diaz’s latest drug test failure:

“I am beyond disappointed that he tested positive for marijuana,” said White. “It is now in the hands of the Nevada State Athletic Commission.”

This is Diaz’s second offense with the NSAC and he will ultimately have to appear before them to address the issue. Last time he tested positive for marijuana it was following his win over in 2007 at 33. He was suspended for six months and the result of the bout was changed to a no-contest.

    Really how was it controversial Condit whooped his ass. And as far as Marijuana goes he has every right to medicate how he chooses whether naturally or with pain killers. Legalize it.

    The comments on this article are what I’d expect, a bunch of ignorant people who aren’t fans of the sport, bashing a guy or making jokes because they saw marijuana in the title.  Nick Diaz is easily one of the best WW’s on the planet.  But the guy has anxiety and smokes pot to deal with it.  People want to claim marijuana is a PED (those people are f****** morons), they’re wrong.  Yeah it’s banned by the rules, and yeah he got what he deserved for breaking it.  But if anyone out there even remotely thinks pot is a performance enhancer, well you’re one stupid f***.

    That being said, Diaz won rounds 1, 2, and 5.  Go do some research, 24 other MMA fighters all scored the bout for Diaz.  Meanwhile something like 10 scored it for Condit.  Diaz got cheated, and now he’s f***** himself for a year, that’s what you can take away from this article.

    Or keep making Afroman jokes because your age demographic still finds them funny.

    What I take away is that Diaz is a moron. I don’t care why he smokes but he and every other fighter knows they get tested after they fight.  There are prescribed medications he can get for his anxiety so don’t act like he deserves sympathy. I don’t see any posts where someone calls pot a PED. Judges score cards are opinions plain and simple. Those 24 other MMA fighters were giving their opinions as well just like you.
