Diaz pissed hot for marijuana again.


You would think with how much he loves weed, he would be hip to the ways of getting it out of your system by a certain time. I have friends that have passed tests on 72 hours notice. You are incredibly immature if you can't put weed off for 3 days when a $200,000 payday is coming your way. Plus a possible setup fight for an even bigger payday and a world title.


In reality, Diaz should give up weed completely or atleast during training camp. I get that weed isn't performance enhancing and medically legal Diaz's home state of California but you know that it's a banned drug by the SAC. So with that knowledge you should not be using something that puts you in jeopardy of a fine, suspension, and losing out on big pay days. The last person that was popped for a repeated offense got a year suspension and 40% of their purse in fines. If Diaz has the same fate, he will have to give up $80,000. That's more than I make in a year. I fucking love Pineapples, but I would give up eating them if they were banned by the SAC.

diaz gets weed prescribed by an MD in california for anxiety problems.

"anxiety problems"

lol smoking weed gives me anxiety a lot of the time

yeah, anxiety problems.

Ok. He's medically licensed to smoke marijuana in the state of California. However, what we're talking about is what is deemed acceptable by the terms set by the NSAC. They have marijuana on the banned list. As a professional fighter it is your job to know what is banned and what isn't by each state/governing body, if you fail to do so there is only one person you can blame. Diaz has openly admitted that he smokes up to pretty close to a fight but always goes through the same ritual to get it out of his system. He's already tested positive once in Nevada, I would be taking extra precautions to make sure I pass the piss test in Nevada now. If he knew he could clean himself out in 5 days, he should have started 10 days out. It's silly and unprofessional to slip up on a drug test, especially a second time.

Now he's going to lose $80,000 and probably serve a year on the shelf. I don't know about you, but I couldn't afford to lose 40% of my pay and then be forced to either not work at all for a year or be forced to take a lower paying job until I'm allowed back at my real job. I mean if suspended Diaz has the option of either not working or making the little money to be made while he teaches lessons at the Gracie school.

Like I stated before, I fucking love pineapple but if the SAC said that pineapple was a prohibited, I would stop eating pineapple at the start of my training camp and I only fight amateur, my livelyhood doesn't depend on it. You would think someone who depends on the money would think the same way.

He said he was retiring anyway.

anyone catch the fights last night?

No one did because about 7 people have Fuel and Comcast hasn't picked it up yet.

I highly (no pun intended) doubt that.

i was one of the 7. decent fights, sachez seemed rather timid compared to his previous fights. maybe it was his opponent, maybe it was his new "lifestyle". . .i dont know.

Yeah, Diego isn't much of a "nightmare" anymore. I guess getting your head split open by BJ's shin could make you a little timid.
