		<description>Thanks for the fact Luppers.  I did not know how that worked.  

And I agree, someone high up in the UFC or the Athletic Commission has a serious problem with Nick Diaz. He should undoubtedly still be in the UFC. He was always matched up with top tier competition and even in his losses he only lost close decsions for the most part. I don't know about you but I've never seen a boring Nick Diaz fight.  I don't think that Dana is the one that has the problem with Nick.  I say this from simply observing TUF 5 in the way he compliments Nate Diaz's fighting style and heart - which are EXACT duplicates of his older brother, who is at that next level - which my friends - is the TOP.</description>

		<description>[quote comment="86138"]
Here's something I just thought of as well.  I know for boxing that each state has its own athletic commission. For example if you can be banned by the Nevada State Athletic Committee that means that you cannot fight in the state of Nevada.  The NSAC has nothing to with say the state of CT, so if the fighter is banned from Nevada, they can still fight at Mohegan Sun in CT.  I suppose a 'ban' may be different, but still.  He got suspened in Japan.  When did Japan become the international supreme court rulers on how long an American gets punished for smoking a freaking blunt.[/quote]That is 100% totally not true. What happens is, if an organization is liscensed in Neveda, and they allow a NSGC banned fighter to fight, the organization can be banned from fighting in Neveda. Hence why NSGC bans fighters that piss dirty even if its in another state/country!

But yeah, this with Nick is getting outa hand. Its weed... Ricco is already back after getting busted for coke... 
Bonnar wasnt banned from corners, even though he was roided out...
I think its a personal issue here for someone high up in the NSGC. 
Its a shame too, Diaz puts on some shows man.</description>

		<description>Have fighters always been tested for drugs? Why are we just now hearing about all these guys testing pos? I'm not new to MMA, but I'm new to all these rules. First I heard of was Nick, then Sanchez, Gulliard, etc., oh...&#38; even Gracie. So what's the deal, have they always tested or is this something new? I'm not trying to sound stupid guys, I'm seriously in the dark here.If these rules have always been there, then you play you pay. I love pot, but I think if I knew I could ruin my carreer by tokin I could lay off. They dished out Nicks punishment already, if not being able to be a cornerman was part of the punishment , why would Nick even apply for it? Hopefully they didn't just throw it in to screw with him. Not Cool!</description>

		<description>[quote comment="86103"]I think Diaz is an idiot.  You make all this money to whoop ass and you risk screwing up your name by smoking some Herb Dean.  Now they take away his big win against Gomi.  I was never a fan of Diaz, and now I hate him even more.

WOW. You have awesome taste in fighters. I'm assuming the latter part is a joke and hoping the first part is as well.</description>

		<description>i think alot of people on here are missing the point.  i agree that weed is no worse than drinking alcohol.  the problem is that certain substances will get you banned.  if diaz knew before hand that he would lose his corner license for smoking then he obviously doesn't give 2 shits about his brother.  it doesn't matter if we agree with the rules or not, they supercede our opinions.</description>
