Nick Diaz returns to from MJ suspension

[Mr Kreaky Bones]

There is an interview with pro fighter Nick Diaz at Sherdog up right now, discussing his marijuana suspension. Beatdown: Nick Diaz Uncensored (or check itunes)

Nick Diaz got a raw deal 6 months ago when his win over Gomi was overturned after testing positive for marijuana. Nick won the fight by submission, yet the State Athletic commission reversed the decision, fined him and suspended him.

Nick may not be the most articulate person in the interview but he does make some very valid points about using marijuana to train in mixed martial arts. Basically, he states that pot has been really beneficial in his success as a pro fighter and jiu jitsu.

The interview starts at about 1hour 30minutes into the show.

oh god... he must of read eddie bravo's fuckin book

i train mma all the time, and i don't follow that jiujitsu hippie bs.

i just think he was a bit retarded for risking the biggest fight of his career, over weed

His excuse for being popped was that he thought that they were only testing for steroids. Really though, he could have taken some precautions to avoid the whole incident. His excuse for using is recovery after a workout- which I am pretty sure is how the majority of athletes use marijuana as a "supplement."

[HighTillIDie]

bah, still... he is a great fighter... i mean a fuckin gogoplata on gomi!!!!

but as a person he is a flake

[palerider7777]

this is true^^

[palerider7777]

i think dan got robbed at ufc 75 the other nite

[HighTillIDie]

i don't... i definately think he didn't perform as good as 'page
was a damn good fight i believe

Diaz rules, and it's kind of bullshit that he gets suspended and a NC for marijuana when there has yet to be similar rulings for athletes using actual performance-enhancing drugs (sherk, gracie, this list goes on).

I can't wait to see him fight again. Such heart, and killer skills.

nice, i thought i was the only motherfucker here into mma, i want to see robbie lawler and ninja rua though, gonna be fuckin sick!!

Nick states that he was unable to get any fights at all because of the suspension, including at Indian reservations. This meant that he and his family were denied income as a result of the suspension. When the other fighters tested positive for steroids and such they were merely fined.

I also might add that a lot of other fighters that got popped for this stuff were the losers in their fight. There is no denying that Nick beat Gomi when he wrapped that gogoplata on him.

In the interview Gross asked Diaz if he has anger management issues. I think being a pro fighter is the perfect profession for someone that might have anger issues.
