Cesar Gracie: Nick Diaz Was Surprised He Tested Positive

he’s knows how to flush..it had to be a supplement, probably from GNC.

Nick is the UFC’s “Goose that lays the Golden Eggs”! Got to keep him fighting and Nate’s continued fighting career will keep Nick close to the cage fire.

I’m a huge fan of Diaz and hope he gets back in the cage. Maybe a year off will be just what he needs. He can chill out and help his brother and smoke it up and then come back and slap people around again. Even though I don’t smoke myself, I really can’t see the point in suspending him for weed. It’s not exactly a performance enhancer. I understand that there have to be rules though.

That would be enough time for rest and time to prepare for another fight.

Nick mentioned to Lorenzo that he was sorry for coming in heavy. Nick isn’t bitch who makes excuses so this isn’t public, only available from the corner transcript article. Possible minor injury (or whatever caused him to come in heavy) means less water going through his system. Means more of a chance to fail.

oh well, “shit happens”. looking forward to condit vs gsp brawl.

…the marijuana rules. Archaic tests in place now indicate usage way before the time you’re under the influence. Either change test levels for a positive or THROW IT OUT ALTOGETHER! Nobody has ever OD’d on marijuana, alcohol is much more dangerous, & it’s just a matter of time before it’s legal on a Federal level. I know too many judges, presidents, church members, teachers, etc. that use. It’s no big deal.

is highly suspicious. first nick is vocal about the decision, and rightfully so. that’s not to say that he’s right about the decision, but he has the right to complain about it. i personally saw the fight as much closer than two of the judges did.

so then nick threatens to retire, which he always does. bad temper and all that.

then we hear that there will be a Diaz vs. Condit rematch, which was kind of odd, considering that the last word from Nick was that he was going to retire.

then we hear Cesar Gracie declare that there is not going to be a rematch. he didn’t say why, but the tone suggests that Nick shot it down.

and THEN we hear that Nick tested positive for marijuana.

yeah, it’s a conspiracy theory all right, but it’s a theory with a lot of circumstantial evidence to support it. this is the UFC/NSAC’s way of getting back at Diaz for being a problem child. if Nick wins that fight, or if he agrees to the rematch without any embarrassing nonsense, then the result of this test never sees the light of day.

and why? because nobody cares that Nick smoked weed at some point before this fight. nobody with a brain in his skull, at least. everyone who has ever smoked knows it confers no benefit, no advantage to a fighter whatsoever. and anybody who is well versed in legal theory and history knows there’s no good reason for marijuana to be illegal. but if you don’t know, look it up: marijuana was originally made illegal because of racism. it was associated with african americans in the early 1900’s and the white men didn’t want black men to use their drug of choice with impunity.

and 100 years later, the same ignorance is now being used to screw nick diaz for no other reason than the guy likes to chill out and get stoned every now and then. but hey, if he’s drinking whiskey, that’s ok.

With so much time on his hands right now, the best thing for him to do would be to go back to school and get an education. Maybe his brain will begin working like that of a normal adult, instead of a child. He is a hell of a fighter but a very stupid human being for blaming everyone for his problems.
He is fortunate enough to be good at something that he says he likes, get paid more than the average person for doing it ; and still manages to ruin everything for him. I will pay to see him fight if he ever returns, but if he doesn’t its no loss, there are thousands of fighters out there that appreciate what opportunity and destiny gives them. Even Gsp and the mighty Silva will eventually fade, so will this bad boy smoker.

needs to just shut the fuck up.

Maybe it’s really for the best. He was talking about not having enough time to get things together in his life. Now he has the time. I doubt it’s an issue of not having the money. No one’s gonna forget about him during his absence either. So it may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. He can get his stuff together and return maybe a bit happier then he was when he left.

Nick would be a great car salesman, or a computer technician or a ladies escort.

It doesn’t matter how good your nifty THC flushing regimen is, it is likely to fail you sometimes. THC likes to hang out in fat cells and other places for a very long time. It’s not impossible to test positive for weed months after smoking a ton of it. Diaz is so proud of his herbal cleansing regimen but it was doomed to fail him sooner or later. Too bad for him it was in the most important fight of his life.

But seriously, if Nick Diaz or any other fighter is actually serious about being a professional fighter, just stop doing the stuff. The federal vs state of California legality of the stuff is tricky at best. Leave the state of Cali and you’re pretty much screwed. Lotta people go on about how he has an RX for it. Not really. What he has is a MM card. Cali has made those very easy to get and the pot smokers in Cali have mastered how to work the system to get an MM card for just about anything. I believe his current running excuse for smoking the stuff is because he has anxiety issues. Well, if it’s really that bad, there are alternative ways to treating it — ways that are not illegal in the other 49 states and most nations on the planet. You fail a drug test and the state athletic commissions don’t give a crap that weed ain’t helping you fight better. It’s on their list of banned substances, all of which they treat equally. Diaz has been busted in Nevada before and knows this better than most.

It comes down to a decision. Do you want to be a fighter or do you wanna smoke pot?? Pick one.

If you can stop the use of it “in time” to clear a fight, then that tells me your FULL OF SHIT GRACIE when you say it’s for medicinal purposes. You are not suppose to start and stop medicine at a whim, even if it’s for pain(is he not in pain the weeks before his fight?) The guy is just like most of the people in California with scripts for Marijuana, POTHEADS. I am a person whom believes that pot should be legalized, but I can’t stand this California BULLSHIT handing everybody who wants to get high, a script for the stuff. Just legalize it and get it over with. And if the various athletic divisions still want to ban it, fine. Gracie is as much the problem with these Diaz brothers as anyone, he would make an excuse for anything they did wrong.
