Feb 9, 2012 - Less than 48 hours hours ago, after much griping, it appeared that Nick Diaz would indeed receive his rematch with Carlos Condit. Now it's unclear when, or if, Diaz will ever fight in the UFC again.
The polarizing Stockonian tested positive for "marijuana metabolites" in the aftermath of UFC 143, according to Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer. Given that this is Diaz's second offense, a lengthy suspension is likely forthcoming.
It seems strangely fitting that after five days of fervent debate, the positive test puts the Condit-Diaz controversy to bed in the most Diaz-like way imaginable. As the UFC and Condit were busy plotting their next move, a slew of Diaz's colleagues sounded off on the announcement.
Nick Diaz was the aggressor of the fight while he was high as a kite is a testament to how good he really is and how much pot he can smoke.

Telling me that the top fighters in MMA smoke pot regularly is like saying that @ryanbader and @Kingsbu suck at beerpong: FACT

There is absolutely no freaking way that Nick Diaz test positive for Marijuana #trolling

They shouldn't test for it but they do.

I read that Diaz may lose 80,000 of his 200k purse. Cesar could have let me train & follow nick around for 40k to make sure he was clean

For those non smokers, please know.
Its not like he smoked a joint in the warm up room. Its just in his blood stream from being a regular user. It’s a little thing but a little annoying too.
Like some of the fighters said it’s not a PED.
I say Filthy Tom wins the “tweet-off” , honorable mention to Duarte!

Nope, stop typing out that reply.

Hemp is a great cure
for such thing as glucoma, epilepsy, and reversing the effect of nausia when treating cancer or chronic pain, I don’t know if it will help with trolling but you should give it a try!

It also cures....
Worrying about your responsibilities, such as showing up for press conferences so you can fight for the title. Maybe Diaz isn’t at fault.. maybe he just forgot.

I know who can beat Nick Diaz!!!
.
It is Nick Diaz himself and he beats him all the time.
That’s why he feels the whole world is against him,
because even Nick Diaz is against him.

"Stockonian"?
Is he from Stockon, now?

Cannabis consumption for elite athletes is nothing new.
Remember Ross Rebagliati? How about Michael Phelps?
The only difference here is, Ross and Michael didn’t get beaten up by Carlos Condit, while Nick Diaz did.
by Spoiler on Feb 10, 2012 12:53 AM EST reply actions
you mean nick diaz beat up carlos condit and chased him for 5 rounds

This situation sucks, but
…the tweet about Nick saying that the THC was in a supplement he got from GNC was fucking hilarious.

Rematches
If Nick can’t beat Kieth Kaizer in their rematch, why should he get another crack at Condit?
by SumDumGuy on Feb 10, 2012 2:25 AM EST reply actions

since when does weed make you stone cold beast? wait…
by One Bad on Feb 10, 2012 2:29 AM EST reply actions
Seriously, this is Goddamn hilarious.
It’s almost like most of the fighters in the round-up are genuinely impressed that Nick Diaz could beat up Carlos Condit while high.
Actually, fuck, that IS pretty damn impressive.

D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F – a quaint acronym from the Aussie vernacular and the new press statement for El Diablo Diaz.

What Is Shit Loads For Meanings
It’s interesting English words for me. Loads of shit. Is it payments in USA of MMA fighters. For us in mother Russia, loads of shit is for kolektive farming fertilizer. And the what is meaning of crappy dressing rooms. Is it meaning much shit on floor of locker rooms. Why not these boys have no toilet for craps. What is shit houses meaning. Is it meaning no place to crap in house so crap all over to make shit in house. What is meaning of pisses me off. My imagination is confused. I’m too sorry your meanings to me is so unbelievable. Not hate me simple questions. But so interesting to understand your thinking mind. Davai – OK
