We can all try new designs for this on the custom shirt thread in the OTL. This is an outrage. Weed..like that gives anyone an unfair advantage. Crock of shit.Hmmm, free Diaz shirts might sell well.
I got a guy with a t-shirt screen printing set up the road from meYou should twitter him I'd buy that.
Yeah but the guy he punched also tried to blind him.I just want to point out something. Jake Shields didn't get suspended for punching someone after a fight had finished, but Nick got 5 years for smoking a joint.

I followed Nick Diaz's hearing on UFC Fight Pass today, and I can only say that I was extremely disappointed to see such a profound miscarriage of justice on the part of the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Not only was Commissioner Lundvall exceedingly rude to Mr. Diaz's very professional counsel, Lucas Middlebrook, but the decision of the Commission seemed only to serve the egos and vested interests of the commissioning body itself, not the athletes it is meant to protect.
When given three drug tests from which to choose, the Commission inexplicably sided with the one that incriminated Mr. Diaz, despite the fact that, compared to the results of the other two, arguably more credible tests, it read like an extreme outlier. When questioning Mr. Diaz regarding this, Commissioner Lundvall repeatedly and abusively asked Mr. Diaz humiliating questions despite his attorneys' insistence that he would be pleading the Fifth Amendment for the duration of the proceeding. It was nothing short of a vendetta against Mr. Diaz.
It is relevant to remember that, just over a year prior, the same Commission had called ex-fighter Chael Sonnen a "friend of the commission" and thanked him for his cooperation after his third career drug test failure. Mr. Sonnen's failures were for steroids and undisclosed testosterone therapy, both of which are certainly more "performance enhancing" than marijuana. One would think that an athletic commision such as the NSAC would be more interested in stomping out performance enhancing drugs rather than a recreational and medicinal substance which is rapidly gaining acceptance across the nation, but that would only be true if the Commission was truly interested in bettering the sport.
All of this sends a very clear message to fighters: obeisance is preferable to innocence.
I may lack the legal or medical expertise to argue adequately on Mr. Diaz's behalf, and I certainly can't defend him for the drug tests he failed in the past. It was clear to me, however, that the Commission was far more interested in doling out punishment than they were in seeing justice done. Having witnessed such a profound display of the nontransparency and self-importance inherent to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, I can only say that I look forward to seeing the decision to give Mr. Diaz an absurd five-year suspension appealed in a higher court.
Sincerely,
Connor Ruebusch

He has one of the best/funniest personalities in the whole sport to add to being a great fighter. This sucks so bad. He's in his early thirties?Now Nick can't even come back for "Big fights" Someone better make a Nick Diaz appreciation thread real quick. Damn im gonna miss him
Ha ha sweet get one that'd be cool.I got a guy with a t-shirt screen printing set up the road from me
32. What sucks even more is that he wasted a lot of his prime years sitting on the sidelines and not fighting. I love the Diaz bros but they could have made more bank and got a few more fights in if they didn't moan and go on a hiatus after a loss.He has one of the best/funniest personalities in the whole sport to add to being a great fighter.
