NICK DIAZ SUSPENDED 5 YEARS BY THE NSAC FOR MARIJUANA
By MMAFighting.com
Las Vegas, NV (September 14th, 2015)– The Nevada Athletic Commission finally had enough of Nick Diaz. In a shocking decision, Nevada commissioners voted Monday to levy an unprecedented five-year suspension on the outspoken UFC contender, stemming from a failed post-fight drug test on Jan. 31 at UFC 183. This was Diaz’s 3rd failed drug test.
The suspension, retroactive to fight night, was passed unanimously at a hearing in Las Vegas.
Diaz was also fined $150,000 — 33-percent of his $500,000 UFC 183 fight purse.
Diaz’s attorney Lucas Middlebrook informed reporters following the hearing that Diaz plans to appeal the commission’s decision, referring the judgment as a “vendetta suspension,” according to ESPN.
If the suspension stands, Diaz, 32, will be 36 years old when allowed to return to competition. Nick Diaz does have California State medical license to use marijuana.
