The rumors have been swirling that someone on the UFC 143 card failed his post-fight drug test. Now we have confirmation via an email from Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer that SOMEONE on the card did indeed fail a drug test.
Here's an email sent from the NSAC commission to members of the MMA media:
From: Keith Kizer
Date: Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 12:16 PM
Subject: UFC 143
Thank you for the many email and phone calls. I am still waiting for all the steroid and drug test results to come back. We did have at least one positive test. I will send out an email later today on that matter.Keith Kizer
Executive Director
Nevada Athletic Commission
Things to keep in mind:
Here's another clue for you all, SI reporter Josh Gross tweeted this earlier:
@JoshGrossESPN
Josh Gross I asked Cesar Gracie yesterday re: rumor about an issue w/ Nick Diaz's drug test. His answer: "I have been told not to comment on anything."

Nick testing + for that sticky icky?
I hope not. But something tells me thats what it’s going to be
FreeLightningLee - February 9, 2012
I hope not too
whether or not a Condit rematch happens, or a GSP fight ever happens, I would be seriously bummed if Diaz basically took a failed drug test as his queue to bail on the sport. There are still a ton of great fights for him in the UFC.
Dave Strummer - February 9, 2012
First thing that came to mind.
It wouldn’t surprise me.
ElliotMatheny - February 9, 2012
Is there anyone out there that really thinks
that weed should be grounds for a DQ? Man, so tired of the drug war. if I was fighting someone I’d rather they were smoking weed, frankly. I certainly wouldn’t think it gave them an edge, and I’d be more likely to assume it would be a hindrance.
DankNabbot - February 9, 2012
If you really want to get fired up
Read what the doctor said about Nick after he got popped following the Gomi fight – something about weed absolutely being a performance-enhancer for him. Utter absurdity.
Patrick Wyman - February 9, 2012
oh yeah, I remember it
and I was equally baffled. and that was a fucking awesome fight too. actually, that was the fight that got me on the Diaz bandwagon.
DankNabbot - February 9, 2012
can I get a link?
I haven’t had my fill of moral outrage for the day yet.
The Lethal Haze - February 9, 2012
Here's the quote
Dr. Alamo went on to say, “Mr. Diaz was 145 [THC concentration]. This creates a unique situation. I was there at this fight and believe that you were intoxicated and… that it made you numb to the pain. Did it help you win? I think it did.”
Patrick Wyman - February 9, 2012
nice find
rec
DankNabbot - February 9, 2012
yeah, weed is a mild analgesic
but the only pains that I’ve heard it works on are mild arthritis, mild PMS symptoms, etc… but to claim that THC is a more effective pain killer than say, adrenaline… I can’t believe that guy has an MD.
The Lethal Haze - February 9, 2012
It's pretty ridiculous
There are some possible ways in which THC could be a performance enhancer, but definitely not as some sort of super pain reliever.
Patrick Wyman - February 9, 2012
Exactly
and it’s only a pain-reliever WHEN YOU’RE HIGH. I don’t think anyone is suggesting that Nick smoked a spliff in the locker room of the Tokyo Dome (or wherever it was). That stuff just stays in your system a long time.
Dave Strummer - February 9, 2012
it was in america
thats why he got caught
im pretty sure they wouldn’t have done drug tests in japan lol
DK_Monster - February 9, 2012
well whaddaya know?
I didn’t even know they had Pride events here.

Shaun32887 - February 9, 2012
Some drugs are banned for danger to the fighter taking them, and this isn’t about the drug war. It’s on the WADA banned list.
Phildo - February 9, 2012
Phildo,
I recall that they were actually talking about it as a PED at the time the DQ was handed out. Furthermore, I think that it does relate to the drug war because I see that government position as a highly influential one which permeates all aspects around the perception of controlled substances. If pot weren’t illegal and didn’t have the history it does as a result I doubt it would be addressed by WADA. Which I will admit I had to google. I have actually studied a fair bit ( I am getting my sociology degree in 4 months) about the history of drug laws and if defending MJ legalization didn’t make me sound like one of those tools who thinks it should be legal because they want to smoke it and use any justification they can find to argue for it I would. But suffice to say that I don’t think it should be illegal for no other reason than I think it is societally bad policy to treat drug use as a crime and not a health issue.
DankNabbot - February 9, 2012
That guy last time was obviously stupid, but that doesn’t change the facts. WADA banned the drug, not the US, so the US’s war on drugs has nothing to do with it.
There are plenty of arguments to remove the ban, I’ve yet to see one that doesn’t contain more reasons to ban the drug besides the one they are arguing against. Your statement that it is a hindrance does not mean it should be allowed. The entire point of athletic commissions is to protect fighters from themselves, and that’s also one of the main reasons a drug ends up on WADA’s banned list.
Phildo - February 9, 2012
Phildo
I’m going to back out of this argument as 2 minutes on Wikipedia reading about WADA doesn’t make me feel as though I have anything to bring to the conversation, and I don’t wanna defend a position from ignorance just because I made a statement I don’t want to take back. I will think on your points as I read more.
DankNabbot - February 9, 2012
I was reading stuff yesterday and got a little disappointing. Popular science or something like that was tackling the wada/weed issue and had a list of 3 reasons why WADA bans a drug, if it does 2 or 3 of them, the drug is banned. One was harmful to the user, two was performance enhancing, I forget what the third was. They took bad for you as a given because inhaling smoke is bad, which is a copout, and then went into trying to figure out the 2nd and 3rd and said that it’s probably not a great argument, but they can see why someone would declare the drug to have those effects.
Even if you throw out the physical smoke argument, i can see why the commissions/wada/whoever would want to stop people from fighting with a drug that fucks up your brain and increases your heart rate in your system, and that’s probably enough to prevent people from changing a rule that was probably in place when they got to their job.
I wouldn’t be arguing the other way if someone came out and said they weren’t going to test for weed anymore, but, as said below, it is banned now, so people need to find a way to not have it in their system when they compete. Plenty of people (including Nick Diaz) have figured out a way to do this, so I’m not going to feel that much sympathy when they get busted).
Phildo - February 9, 2012
Hmmm
If we’re getting real here, I personally can’t get around the argument that weed is bad for you. I myself found it pretty addictive- probably not toxically or chemically, but psychologically it amounted to the same thing, and I don’t feel that inhaling smoke is necessarily a minor health issue, depending on how often you do it of course. So I’ll say this- it was definitely bad for me.
But your argument is comprehensive and lucid, and you make good points. I also wouldn’t be arguing it should be *on*the list either, if it weren’t. And your final point is the best- it’s a rule at a workplace, and I have understanding but no sympathy. I have friends who played in the NFL who burned and never got busted due to strategic layoffs, and a pro athlete should know all the ins and outs and consequences with zero excuses. Thanks for the polite discussion.
DankNabbot - February 9, 2012
Guys...please don't stop.
This is how arguments should be carried out.
I am thoroughly enjoying this debate.
Body Triangle - February 9, 2012
I really don’t know anything about it. I was drug tested when all my friends tried it, so I didn’t do it, and now that I’m not tested I still don’t have any desire/occasion to do it.
As for “bad for you” there are levels of it. Inhaling smoke is bad for you, whether it’s from cigarettes, joints, stoves, paper, forest fires, whatever, but I’ll admit that it’s a pretty weak argument.
As for fighting, from what I know, it messes with your brain and increases your heart rate, this can lead to something disastrous. This is worst case scenario type stuff, but if someone got killed or seriously injured and it was found that they had ANY questionable drug in their system (weed, alcohol, weight loss supplements, add drugs, cough syrup) people are going to freak out, and all sports need to take steps to cover themselves in this situation, especially sports that are already on the fringe like this one.
Phildo - February 9, 2012
I don't think one should be suspended for fighting stoned
But it’s a known fact that you’re not allowed to do that. Diaz already did it once. He skipped another fight because he knew he was about to piss hot. To do it a third time is just stupid.
blutspender - February 9, 2012
This is a salient point and supercedes many others.
At the end of the day, it’s a rule and if broken there will be consequences.
DankNabbot - February 9, 2012
Weed can absolutely be a performance enhancer, while at the same time it has it’s cons. I remember i was able to bench +20 more pounds than my previous workout session while i was stoned. It made me feel stronger and more in control of my muscles. But aside from working out while laying down it doesn’t have any other performance enhancement value. It fatigues you faster and i definitely wouldn’t have been able to do a high intensity workout.
MaximumWatermelon - February 9, 2012
Seriously?
Do you actually believe that smoking weed gave you the ability to lift more weight than you could without it?
Dreaded - February 9, 2012
my buddy reported the same thing, he would go into the gym and handle business
also new study shows that smoking weed isn’t that harmfull, from the physical smoking damage standpoint
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - February 9, 2012
I'm not saying it's harmful
In fact, I believe the pros far outweigh any cons. I do not, however, believe that inhaling thc into your lungs will grant you the muscle strength to add 20+ lbs to your bench.
Dreaded - February 9, 2012
The point is that you can’t take any drugs to affect your body or mind when competing, you’re supposed to be sober. In that respect, I don’t understand why you would make an exception for marijuana just because a lot of people like to get high relationally. I mean it definitely does affect your senses, whether it’s for better or worse is besides the point.
Horselover Fat - February 9, 2012
Would this make all the complaints about the judges’ decision null and void if it does come back as Nick Diaz testing positive? That would be great because it will shut a lot of people up.
BeefSupreme - February 9, 2012
If it's weed no not at all
FreeLightningLee - February 9, 2012
I guess my reasoning was that if Nick tested positive, there is no way that he would’ve won that fight any way.
BeefSupreme - February 9, 2012
If Nick tested positive for weed there is no way he would win anyway? What?
memitim - February 9, 2012 via mobile
Yeah. No contest.
sexysassytravismmafan - February 9, 2012
Nah Carlos would keep the win I am pretty sure
It would be a no contest if Nick won.
FreeLightningLee - February 9, 2012
That’s what I meant. No contest if Nick won, just like the Gomi fight.
sexysassytravismmafan - February 9, 2012
what exactly are you talking about?
joeshowradio - February 9, 2012
It’s obvious. It doesn’t matter if Nick should have won the decision. It doesn’t even matter if he KTFO Carlos IF he tested positive for weed. He still wouldn’t have won.
sexysassytravismmafan - February 9, 2012
I guess a better phrasing of that would be: If Diaz tested positive, there is no way that he could have officialy been awarded the victory. The failed test would’ve resulted in a no-contest.
BeefSupreme - February 9, 2012
Do people remember the Gomi fight as a win for Diaz? I know I do even tho the record books record it as a no contest.
memitim - February 9, 2012 via mobile
Yup.
Sweet Scientist - February 9, 2012
I don't just consider it a win.
I consider it fucking awesome.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
I do too
IRodC - February 9, 2012
A fight that Diaz won with an amazing submission =/= a fight that he lost by unanimous decision.
BeefSupreme - February 9, 2012
The only correlation between those two fights was that Diaz tested positive.
BeefSupreme - February 9, 2012
until it’s released as true, it isn’t a correlation…then you can ham it up
tigerlee - February 9, 2012
Mmmm, ham...
BeefSupreme - February 9, 2012
The point is weed doesn’t mean squat in relation to the actual fight. It has nothing to do with Nick’s performance. If you are in the camp that thought Nick won this doesn’t move the needle a bit.
memitim - February 9, 2012 via mobile
I never mentioned his performance. Argueing that Diaz won would be a moot point because of the results of the drug test.
BeefSupreme - February 9, 2012
You asked if the complaints over the decision would go away if he tested positive. The answer is no, if you felt Nick won the test changes nothing.
memitim - February 9, 2012 via mobile
No matter what happens the complaints won't go away
because fans will never give up on it. The decision is a moot point if Diaz is popped for something anyways, suspend him and maybe he will wise up.
Riley_96 - February 9, 2012
he should get an award.
he fought like that and he was high?

Cory Braiterman - February 9, 2012
lets just be glad GSP got hurt… how terrible would it be if Nick was getting stripped of the UFC title today?
Stanlee - February 9, 2012
Big deal...
He’ll get a suspension yadda yadda…. then reduction. Too much money on the line for either the rematch or the GSP fight not to happen.
Kid Kimura - February 9, 2012
he got 6 months last time nevada caught him… what are we thinking this time? 12 or 18 months?
Stanlee - February 9, 2012
me thinks its this
attgnp - February 9, 2012
The answer to this email should just be, “we have not received all the results, we will not comment until we do.” All this does is create an environment for speculation. Now there is some other stuff floating around today so all the speculation isn’t baseless, but if Diaz is clean he’s getting dragged down by this for no reason.
Phildo - February 9, 2012
yeah
but its not like everyone doesn’t already know he smokes.
attgnp - February 9, 2012
not like this is for NO reason
seeing as he’s done this before and has said he will continue to smoke.
Cory Braiterman - February 9, 2012
This time it isn’t for no reason, but still. People are going to look stupid if some random guy on the prelims did roids, and it’s not necessary. Speculating about drug tests is stupid, when you can tell me who was positive and negative, tell me, anything else is stupid and pointless.
Phildo - February 9, 2012
They are telling you
Just keeping their asses covered.
KGNLuc - February 9, 2012 via mobile
they shouldn’t be telling me anything now.
Phildo - February 9, 2012
Why?
There are many occasions when a journalist knows 100% what’s up and this is the only way he can tell you.
KGNLuc - February 9, 2012 via mobile
I’m not talking about journalists. I’m talking about Kizer, the commission. Journalists can dig, commissions should not give incomplete information about drug tests.
Phildo - February 9, 2012
Aaaah. ok.
Saddled the wrong horse then. ;)
KGNLuc - February 9, 2012 via mobile
if that was the case Cesar wouldn't be so hush hush
i agree that the drama/ speculation around this fight/ rematch/ decision/ drug screen situation is way overblown. i think all the madness is a good buildup to a rematch down the road.

If Nick can beat him stoned, imagine what he would do to him sober!
KGNLuc - February 9, 2012 via mobile
Patrick Tenney - February 9, 2012
This is exposed conduit
Ricardo Arguello - February 9, 2012
If he got busted for weed
He could have smoked it a week before and it would have still showed up.
And if that is the case, it is not going to affect his performance in the cage one bit.
Hasn’t anyone toked around here?
Clay Davis - February 9, 2012
I don't think the point is that he fought stoned for some kind of advantage.
It’s that he broke policy that is clearly laid out, and has done it before, and he is paid a very large amount of money to obey the rules of the company he works for. Civil disobedience is always an option, but you have to be willing to pay the consequences.
DankNabbot - February 9, 2012
I am not debating that.
It is against the rules, and he should pay for breaking them.
All my point is stating, is that this could have happened a while before, and it is possible that it didn’t affect his performance either way
Clay Davis - February 9, 2012
well then we agree :)
DankNabbot - February 9, 2012
OK everyone! time to
fontgangsta - February 9, 2012
yeah, but
the Ceasar Gracie tweet isn’t exactly booming with confidence for his guy.
Dave Strummer - February 9, 2012
Plus the rematch was on, then via Gracie "not agreed upon"
Why wouldn’t he agree to the rematch, another huge payday and another shot to face GSP for the real belt??? Probably because of this test. Looks like we landed on YES!

Buzzerbeat - February 9, 2012
It is pretty clear that it was Diaz. For weed.
Did you guys see his Twitter feed? On the day before the fight he was posting pictures of vegan food and other food related items (videos about eating healthy).
1. He never tweets.
2. It’s even less likely that he’d tweet before a fight.
3. It’s even less likely that he’d tweet pictures of food that no one would ever eat.
4. Unless he were stoned.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
Plus vegan food is generally disgusting and only someone with a serious case of the munchies and a distinct inability to find funions would eat it.
Patrick Tenney - February 9, 2012
I mean, I'm vegetarian.....
….since birth.
And even I was questioning the food choices he was sharing with us.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
I'm a vegetarian too
and raw food makes me cringe a little.
Dave Strummer - February 9, 2012
You really have been a vegetarian since birth? Medical condition?
Afrotikiman - February 9, 2012 via mobile
Yeah I guess you could call it that.
I have hippyparentitis
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
BURN THE WITCH
lowellthehammer - February 9, 2012
Is there an inside joke in there?
I mean, once I got old enough to decide for myself I was told that since I had never had meat, I’d probably get sick for awhile if I ate it. So that prevented me from doing so for a few years.
Then I learned about factory farming of animals, got a little militant about it, thought I was superior, like most veggies seem to. (which was patently absurd, since I had no choice in the matter)
Now that I’m older, I don’t think that at all. Aside from getting bummed out when I consider the living conditions of the animals in those factory farms, I see eating meat as a clearly necessary part of human existence.
As for me, I personally am okay with never having eaten it, nor do I think I ever will, as long as I have other options.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
aside from avoiding the obvious ethical dilemma
of killing another sentient being because you don’t like the taste of tofu, you are also contributing less to cooking the planet. You’re entitled to feel morally superior. I say this as a weak willed lover of bacon.
TubbyMcFats - February 9, 2012
shenanigans cows put out more greenhouse gas than cars in the USA so congratulate yourself on reducing carbon as you chow down in your Triple whopper with extra bacon.
Bobillarious - February 9, 2012 via Android app
Think he was just kidding around (hippy-phobia). The only problem I think I ever really have had with veganism/vegetarianism is the exact problem I have with atkins type diets; they’re fine nutritionally when done correctly but there’s so much misinformation and bad information out there that a lot of people end up being malnourished and causing themselves harm.
My opinion on peoples diets is purely on the basis of nutrition, arguments for or against diets etc on the basis of morality etc will never go anywhere.
Patrick Tenney - February 9, 2012
tell that to Hindus
TubbyMcFats - February 9, 2012
True that.
My mother was really great. She learned everything she could about nutrition when we were little babies. She cooked so many different things for us, it was never boring and we (my bro and sis) never seemed to run into any health problems.
Not sure what’s awaiting me when I hit 50 or 60, but my mom is almost 60, does hot yoga every day for the past few years, and she is in great shape. She’s never had any medical conditions aside from her doctor recommending she get more Iron a few years back.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
That’s definitely the way to do it. I’m fully supportive of people who actually spend the time to know what is in their diet and what they need to put into it to make it nutritionally viable.
More than just being vegan/vegetarian your mother is probably in great shape due to her diligent research on nutrition. Meat etc isn’t necessarily a health problem in a diet, the problems usually stem from ignorance on basic nutrition/exercise principles.
Kudos to your mom, also hot yoga is awesome.
Patrick Tenney - February 9, 2012
there are a bunch of old ladies in my hot yoga classes and they are seriously gangster. respect.
mollcutpurse - February 9, 2012
Hot Yoga
The name seems to be writing checks reality can’t cash. :(
KGNLuc - February 9, 2012
I can't help but ask you
If you have ever watched a yoga class. I live in Santa Cruz (I say this to indicate high concentration of Yoga classes) and Yoga classes produce and reinforce hotness in many ways for sure. Seriously, it’s the jazzersize of now. And I am not talking about the air conditioning being turned off. Yowza
DankNabbot - February 9, 2012
I just got the feeling the “Hot” in “Hot Yoga” was not the “Hot” I was hoping for. Your statement seems to indicate my initial hope was not misguided though?
KGNLuc - February 9, 2012
if you see a woman
with outstanding posture, great bearing and composure, with excellent flexibility, core strength, and who is lithe, long, and lean, Yoga is a great guess. Personally, those are all things I find “hot.” It’s also a really intense and scalable workout, and I highly recommend taking a 3 month series if you want to make your body feel awesome. There are many different forms, I liked Ayungar the most, which is where you hold positions for a longer time and focus on the form a lot. wow.
DankNabbot - February 9, 2012
and by the way
If you like doing Jiu Jitsu, yoga should be part of your regimen for sure. It really helps you learn and strengthen and control every part of your body and increases flexibility.
DankNabbot - February 9, 2012
If you've ever visited Vancouver....
….you’d change your tune.
So many hot yoga chicks up here. I mean, i’s home to the headquarters of lululemon.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
By the way
I agree, Vancouver is a beautiful city. I did a rugby tour up through BC and Vancouver was a highlight, as was Victoria.
DankNabbot - February 9, 2012
I agree with DankNabbot. I’m not sure if the “old ladies” part of my comment made you think the people in the class aren’t hot, but that’s the thing — even the old ladies are hot, compared to your average old ladies. most of the people in the class have phenomenal bodies, although I cannot say whether that would be true for a hot yoga class in the US, where the bodies are different looking.
(I personally don’t find the long & lean yoga body particularly aesthetically appealing — I like muscles on men and curves on women — but I respect how in shape they are.)
mollcutpurse - February 9, 2012
you poor poor soul
you have no idea what you are missing LOL
attgnp - February 9, 2012
Like TubbyMcFats , I’m happy to acknowledge your choices as morally superior to the average american . why would you see eating meat as a neccessary part of the human expeirence when your own experience tells you that it isn’t?
Have you had those Morning star chipolte black bean burgers? scrumptious.
Hardy's in your face - February 9, 2012
Well, I was sort of referring to the entirety of humanity. Up until like, 50 or 60 years ago it would have been pretty hard to survive without eating meat in many parts of the world. If there was a bad crop, you’d be fucked. If you lived somewhere that didn’t have a good climate for growing fruits/nuts/veggies, you’d be fucked.
It is becoming less necessary, especially for those who live in the developed world.
Yet when I say the “human experience”, I don’t base it on what we’ve experienced over the past 50 years here in the developed world. Based on how things are going, we could be returning to the stone age shortly, making our experience as humans a rare anomaly.
So that’s where I was going with that.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
Got it. There’s no question that meat was neccessary for hominids/humans to develop our large brains. Now that we have all of earth’s resources at our fingertips and the demand for protein on the rise it’s I can see your point that we might be reaching some tipping point of sustainability. A collapse in marine foodsources is surely on the horizon, but I think the only thing that could drive humanity back to the bronze age would be a mega catastrophy like the Yellowstone cladera erupting. That wil be one brutal millenium for the creatures of earth.
Hardy's in your face - February 9, 2012
Exact opposite of my childhood
I was always told.
“If it didn’t scream when it died, whats the point in eating it”
I don’t always follow that these days, veggies are good
Clay Davis - February 9, 2012
Oh LAWDY.
I’d die without striploin steak.
T.C. Engel - February 9, 2012
Agreed
The more I think about it, the more I want to get that out of my head:
problem solved
Cory Braiterman - February 9, 2012
problem caused.
Gross.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
Looks good except for carmalized onions
Ruins all food. Fuck that noise.
menckenstein - February 9, 2012
Fuck that fuck that noise
I’ll put caramelized onions on a cigarette butt and eat it.
Charles Awad - February 9, 2012
agreed.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
Yes.
Kwisatz Haderach - February 9, 2012
I can understand that considering they have the same taste
Now excuse me but I’m going to go scoop some guacamole onto a waffle cone and eat it.
menckenstein - February 9, 2012
I'm going to wrap a sausage in bacon and then wrap that in flank steak and eat it.
T.C. Engel - February 9, 2012
Carmelized onions are the truth. Bite your tongue, sir.
RonSwanson - February 9, 2012
Like chewing on a sugared tape worm
Onions can be grilled but don’t slop them up with butter and sugar.
Manrule #11
menckenstein - February 9, 2012
?
You do understand that carmelized onions do not have butter or sugar on them right? Onions are sweet when cooked down.
TheRealGunslinger - February 9, 2012
yeah, they already have sugars in them…that’s why they ‘carmelize’
tigerlee - February 9, 2012
Never use sugar. Don’t know where you heard that?
memitim - February 9, 2012 via mobile
Yeah man, you're lost
Neither go on caramelized onions. There’s the occasional dash of Worcestershire, but traditionally, it’s just onions stewed down. They gets brown because onions are high in natural sugars. Makes them slightly sweet.
Charles Awad - February 9, 2012
wow what
goddamn son, no wonder you think they suck, you’ve never had them made properly before. ignorance is a terrible, terrible thing.
Cory Braiterman - February 9, 2012
wow
I’d eat carmelized onions all by themselves. and the don’t ruin a sandwich, they make that sammy awesome. Especially with Bacon.
Speaking of Bacon, the new jack in the box bacon commercial is epic.
Okay, I am gonna go make a chicken bacon ranch sammy, with carmelized onions. mmmmmmmmmm.
DankNabbot - February 9, 2012
Substitute that ranch with some chipotle sauce, or some guac,
and you got yourself a stew goin!
ElliotMatheny - February 9, 2012
Is that ranch dressing?
Seriously? You Americans will put ranch on anything.
Llewdor - February 9, 2012
Looks like melted Bleu Cheese to me
ElliotMatheny - February 9, 2012

Cory Braiterman - February 9, 2012
Ranch + anything = tasty

Hemp & Greens - case closed
merryprankster - February 9, 2012
he can blame it on the
hemp food then??
JonBon Joey - February 9, 2012
certainly not.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
does hemp carry THC?
JonBon Joey - February 9, 2012
no
I have hemp protein and it doesn’t make me want to eat Oreos
taptomyarmbar - February 9, 2012
science!
Phildo - February 9, 2012
haha
that doesnt mean it dobnt have tch in it, but ill take ur word for it
JonBon Joey - February 9, 2012
That is correct.
I’m not 100% sure or anything, but I’m 99% sure that hemp protein will not cause you to pop.
If all this baseless speculation proves true and Nick does blame it on supreme greens….I mean, I’ll lose all respect for him.
What he needs to do is simply shrug it off, say that he was done with MMA anyhow and just go do triathalons. That would be truly cool.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
Yea I hear that
Huge diaz fan but i wouldnt lose respect for him if he lies about how the weed got in his system, but if he failed for peds i’ll lose almost all respect
JonBon Joey - February 9, 2012
if he lied about the weed getting into his system?
I’d totally lose respect for him.
He has been open about it for so long. Why change the stance now? Why join the tired and lame list of people busted for things that blame everything but themselves?
That would be crap. It would be completely like Nick Diaz to say “yeah, I got high. So what? I quit MMA.”
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
That will further reinforce the childish image that he portrays.
I always hoped he would grow up a bit, he is an exciting fighter to watch.
Clay Davis - February 9, 2012
You know what is the best food to quell munchies?
Meat, eggs, milk, nuts, beans, etc. Protein is the only thing that can effectively quell the munchies. Last time I got super baked, I grilled up 5 chicken breasts and devoured them with spicy barbeque sauce. It was glorious
ElliotMatheny - February 9, 2012
Everytime I read "cannabis" I think cannibal...
menckenstein - February 9, 2012
Of course hemp produced for food contains THC, but in very low levels (you could never get high from it).
Horselover Fat - February 9, 2012
“hemp” = strains of cannabis with low levels of THC
Horselover Fat - February 9, 2012
Off to devour 500g hemp protein.......
taptomyarmbar - February 10, 2012
no no no...I was joking
If he gets popped for weed, he better just say, “yeah I smoked, fuck you, I got paid” and maybe throw a “bitch” or two in for good measure.
merryprankster - February 9, 2012
hemp and mariujana are different
http://naihc.org/hemp_information/content/hemp.mj.html
http://host.madison.com/ct/article_fb7c0968-3122-11df-a8de-001cc4c03286.html
“Marijuana is the flowering tops and leaves of psychoactive varieties of Cannabis that are grown for their high THC content.”
“Hemp, or industrial hemp, is a cultivated, low-THC variety of Cannabis. It is grown for its seeds, oil and fiber.”

Horselover Fat - February 9, 2012
Did anyone else notice the phrase "good water" use by Nate after the first round?
At the time, it stuck out, kinda like Panama saying “get the bottle I mixed”
If Nick got popped for something extra in that water bottle, Nate’s mention of it was caught on the Audio between rounds.
/takes off tinfoil hat.
Snatchl - February 9, 2012
Reminds me of a part in Assault in the Ring
Where Resto’s trainer says “Give me the good water” also and it was rumored but not proven that they put antihistamines in the water to help with breathing/oxygenating blood or somesuch shit.
menckenstein - February 9, 2012
Resto's trainer was Panama. The mixed bottle incident happened in the Pryor-Arguello fight.
Shadiest guy in boxing.
Sweet Scientist - February 9, 2012
didn't see this, I mentioned it down the page.
I totally wondered what that was all about.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
hey guys who knows, maybe it was CONDIT?!
naw but it looks like its gotta be nick, Cesar Gracie doesn’t ever keep his mouth shut, and all he’s been saying is “no comment” to everything recently.

I hope it’s PEDs…it would be too funny

JonBon Joey - February 9, 2012
So funny that you mention this.
I was talking bout PEDs with some friends the other day…..
…and I said the only fighters that would surprise me if they got busted were the Diaz brothers.
Then I thought about it and said “they could easily be blood doping”, considering the excellent cardio they have and the love of cyclists for doing that sort of thing.
If he was busted for blood doping, I’d truly never be surprised at any positive test by any athelte ever.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
Blood doping is all nonsense though.
lowellthehammer - February 9, 2012
Blood doping wouldn’t show up in a urine test.
memitim - February 9, 2012 via mobile
This.
Patrick Tenney - February 9, 2012
So it's not possible to tell if MMA fighters are blood doping?
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
Or using HGH.
memitim - February 9, 2012 via mobile
I think it is by measuring the O2 levels in a blood sample but I believe it’s cost prohibitive? I’m not entirely sure but I know that blood doping is ridiculously hard to prove.
Patrick Tenney - February 9, 2012
I just meant, since we don't do blood testing in MMA
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
Again, not entirely sure but yeah it would be exceedingly difficult to prove blood doping and some other things without a full lab battery a’la tour de’france.

I have never seen a mean pitbull
and I have been around a lot of them. Its all in how they are raised as with any dog. My parents Rottweiler is like a damn teddy bear.
attgnp - February 9, 2012
It's so true
My tastes in dogs don’t really run toward that end of the spectrum, but I have friends with “dangerous” dog breeds and they’re all total sweethearts. It’s just so much easier for people to blame some amorphous innate characteristics of an entire breed than to take dogs, like people, on a case-by-case basis.
Patrick Wyman - February 9, 2012
I have
I love Pits, have owned one that I had to give up. I wasn’t in for the war of dominance that some of the breed will require to train. But I used to live in San Diego, and I saw many poorly trained pitbulls, and some that were really well trained and mean. I personally feel that the breed requires a very consistent owner.
DankNabbot - February 9, 2012
mean and dangerous
are not the same thing though
Most pitbulls could be very dangerous as most dogs could, but pitbulls are more gifted
than many other breeds
cletusvandam - February 9, 2012
True...
By nature, I don’t think they’re mean (I have a few friends with them); but the problem becomes when they are mistreated, and they can become very, VERY dangerous, and that’s the problem.
An aggressive pit bull is far more dangerous that an aggressive chihuahua.

Until my parents got a skinny dog who shivers his ass off in the winter time.
They got him a Vancouver Canucks dog sweater and he loves that thing. He actually goes and sits by it when he comes in the house on a cold day. Runs around like a banshee when he gets it put on. A happy banshee.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
Matthew Roth - February 9, 2012
These are amazing and the fact that the cake has fun-fetti icing makes it even better.
BeefSupreme - February 9, 2012
So the fact that Nick wasn't on the medical suspensions list....
…pretty much seals it as being him who tested positive?
Am I correct on this? I seem to remember Thiago Silva not being included on the medical suspensions after 125 shortly before it came out that he popped.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
The medical suspension list
And the drug tests are two entirely different things. One has nothing to do with the other.
Worldisart - February 9, 2012
But why would Diaz be excluded of the medical suspension list when he clearly had a few big lacerations on his face?
Shnak - February 9, 2012
Ask the doctor that examined him post fight
I’m telling you, one has nothing to do with the other.
Worldisart - February 9, 2012
I find it extremely unlikely that of everyone on the card Diaz would be the only one that didn’t get any medical suspension whatsoever. His face was a mess after the fight.
Shnak - February 9, 2012
no it wasn't
after the BJ fight it was a lot worse
feiwongfu - February 9, 2012
He had a bunch of lacerations on the right side of his face. Maybe not the worst ever for him but he definitely looked worse than Condit did.
Shnak - February 9, 2012
It was worse than condit's but nothing major
a “mess” I wouldn’t call it
feiwongfu - February 9, 2012
not bad enough for a suspension
tigerlee - February 9, 2012
There's also the question
on if he showed up for the post fight checkups or just dipped
Cory Braiterman - February 9, 2012
Wasn’t it rumored it took him 6 hrs to get his post-fight medicals done?
KGNLuc - February 9, 2012
Totally true
A fighter can be suspended for refusing to take the test as well.
NAC 467.850
but Kizer is saying positive drug test, so that rules out skipping a test.
tigerlee - February 9, 2012
condit got suspended
so actually it should have been bad enough for a suspension
feiwongfu - February 9, 2012
Are you a doctor? Did you get to examine both fighters post fight? I didn’t think so.
Worldisart - February 9, 2012
condit looked better after the fight
but yeah I can’t say it a 100%
feiwongfu - February 9, 2012
you could probably say that without sounding like a jerk
just saying, thats been a serious problem around here since Saturday.
I’ve lurked here for a few years, commenting very rarely, and with one
fight, tons of people have deteriorated quickly. We can do better than this
cletusvandam - February 9, 2012
Maybe the doc didn’t do his job or something, but it still has nothing to do with the drug testing as those suspensions are processed and handed out before the drug tests ever come back.
Worldisart - February 9, 2012
I hear you, but still don’t believe you. ;-)
Shnak - February 9, 2012
I don't care what you believe
You’re wrong.
Worldisart - February 9, 2012
medical suspensions are done right after the fight, it takes time for drug tests to get back.
Also, Cole province got a medical suspension at WEC 42 and suspended for drugs.
Phildo - February 9, 2012
Cool. Thanks for clearing that up.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
UFC 125
The full list of suspensions included:
* Frankie Edgar: Suspended until July 1 due to nasal fracture, though an ENT doctor can clear him early; regardless, minimum suspension until Feb. 16 with no contact until Feb. 1
* Gray Maynard: Suspended until Feb. 16 with no contact until Jan. 23 due to facial lacerations
* Chris Leben: Suspended until Feb. 6 with no contact until Feb. 1 for precautionary reasons
* Brandon Vera: Suspended until July 1 due to nasal fracture, though an ENT doctor can clear him early; regardless, minimum suspension until Feb. 16 with no contact until Feb. 1
* Marcus Davis: Suspended until July 1 due to nasal fracture, though an ENT doctor can clear him early; regardless, minimum suspension until March 3 with no contact until Feb. 16
* Josh Grispi: Suspended until July 1 due to a jaw injury, though a, oral, maxial and facial doctor can clear him early; regardless, minimum suspension until Feb. 16 with no contact until Feb. 1
* Phil Baroni: Suspended until July 1 due to nasal fracture, though an ENT doctor can clear him early; regardless, minimum suspension until March 3 with no contact until Feb. 16
* Diego Nunes: Suspended until Jan. 23 with no contact until Jan. 16 due to left-eye contusion
* Greg Soto: Suspended until July 1 due to a left-shoulder injury, though an orthopedic doctor can clear him early
Those who were screened for performance enhancers such as steroids and drugs of abuse like cocaine and marijuana, among others, and came back clean include main event participants Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard, as well as Chris Leben, Brian Stann, Brandon Vera, Phil Baroni, Brad Tavares, Jeremy Stephens, Dustin Poirier, Diego Nunes, Daniel Roberts, Jacob Volkmann, Dong Hyun Kim and Clay Guida.
Vera was tested, however, his opponent, Thiago Silva, does not appear on this list.

mburtoni - February 9, 2012 via mobile
If it is Nick
How long do you reckon on the suspension? Given his history I would be surprised if he fought before next Memorial Day.
MattParker117 - February 9, 2012
2nd offense
So I’d imagine they will come down hard on him.
Worldisart - February 9, 2012
The first one was in Japan, and he never faced any kind of suspension, just overturned the win into a no contest. Unless you’re talking about the time he missed a drug test and they canceled the fight, but technically he never failed anything so there was no supension that time either.
nomomrnicekyle - February 9, 2012
Wasn’t it in Vegas?
Patrick Tenney - February 9, 2012
Yes it was.
Worldisart - February 9, 2012
It was in Vegas
And he was suspended.
Worldisart - February 9, 2012
If the UFC is consistent with itself, they’ll treat Diaz the same as every other guy that’s be popped more than once… good bye Nick!
Shnak - February 9, 2012
They have not done that wiht every other guy who’s been popped more than once.
Chris Leben still has a job.
Worldisart - February 9, 2012
True, good point. Then again, Leben’s got like 20 fights in the UFC and he’s stepped up on more than one occasion to help out the UFC. He’s a company-man, in other words. You can’t really say that about Nick, can you?
Shnak - February 9, 2012
I’m just pointing out that your statement doesn’t hold any water and just because this is Nick’s 2nd incident (1st with the UFC) does not mean he will be canned.
Worldisart - February 9, 2012
Their policy
Seems to be pretty flexible, depending on who the guy is and what he got popped for.
Patrick Wyman - February 9, 2012
He’ll get the Dave Herman treatment, which is basically nothing.
mburtoni - February 9, 2012 via mobile
You do know that Herman was found “not guilty”, right? Something with the testing was messed up
Horselover Fat - February 9, 2012

All of the above comments are now meaningless other than Roth’s dog with food items on head pictures because those should now be the focal point of any future comments.
Patrick Tenney - February 9, 2012
Roth has successfuly high jacked this thread, and I will not complain. MOAR PICTURES!!!
BeefSupreme - February 9, 2012
I mean
I posted that burger because I wanted to turn it into a food porn thread.
Roth up and showed the Texan in him by making it into beastiality porn

Mac Miller does enjoy his weed.
RonSwanson - February 9, 2012
I hope it is Roy Nelson on some PEDs
That would solid gold.
Hashmo - February 9, 2012
Thermogenics to help him lose weight?
That’s not implausible.
Llewdor - February 9, 2012
At this point it IS Diaz
The rumors were there before Kizer confirmed one fighter got popped. In a case like this, rumors are true 99% of the time.
KGNLuc - February 9, 2012
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON....
…with Keith’s hair?
bigstupidsmile - February 9, 2012
The bed head look is in now- you didn’t hear that?
BilboMcFonzie - February 9, 2012
Kos and the AKA steroid scandals continue....
sklart - February 9, 2012
OH MY UPDATES
The fact that this onetime ubertroll is now a legit source of news still astounds me
Cory Braiterman - February 9, 2012
Who the hell is that guy anyhow?
Patrick Tenney - February 9, 2012
former troll on underground
now apparent mma news source
Cory Braiterman - February 9, 2012
O_o
Patrick Tenney - February 9, 2012
lemme correct that
he’s still a troll, but he also apparently has sources for news now
Cory Braiterman - February 9, 2012
Probably trolled people into getting their contact info and harassed them for news.
mountaineers101 - February 9, 2012
I can exclusively confirm this
Charles Awad - February 9, 2012
Explain your confirmation!
mountaineers101 - February 9, 2012
...
Well, this is awkward.
Charles Awad - February 9, 2012
It is Front Row Brian. He gets shat on 24/7. Unless you are Front Row Brian…
mountaineers101 - February 9, 2012
If it isn't clear by now
..I’m making fun of people that go from forum-to-exclusively confirming shit. I think it’s hilarious.
Charles Awad - February 9, 2012
D’oh. 2 hours of sleep will do that to you.
mountaineers101 - February 9, 2012
Does anyone recall Nick asking Nate for the "good water"
after the first round?
He took a sip from a different water bottle, then Nate took a sip from it as well.
Thought that was strange. Anyone else?
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
Bong water?
IRodC - February 9, 2012
Joe Rogan would be losing his shit over the referees and cage assistants trying to clean up puke if Diaz was drinking bong water.
mountaineers101 - February 9, 2012
I was gonna beat up Condit and face GSP
then I got high.
I was gonna rule 170 for years
Then I got high.
I was gonna make Dana happy, now I might get fired
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got hiiiiiigh
Cory Braiterman - February 9, 2012
I applaud your efforts to make up for reporting a fake death.
Worldisart - February 9, 2012
I recc'd some of your comments too
Gotta try hard man
Cory Braiterman - February 9, 2012
Typo
Nate, you’ve got Gross listed as “SI reporter Josh Gross”
Obviously he’s with ESPN.
LAndrade32 - February 9, 2012
Maybe Condit tested positive for EPO use..
pornflake - February 9, 2012
?
mountaineers101 - February 9, 2012
Taken from Wikipedia.
Blood doping:
ESAs have a history of use as blood doping agents in endurance sports such as […] cycling.
pornflake - February 9, 2012
They don't show up
On urine tests, at least EPO doesn’t.
Patrick Wyman - February 9, 2012
Meh, you know. Could've been possible. Thanks for clearing that up, tho.
pornflake - February 9, 2012
Oh yeah
It wouldn’t really have surprised me much if he were using a blood doping agent or even straight blood doping, given his involvement in sports where that’s a fairly common practice. It was a good suggestion.
Patrick Wyman - February 9, 2012
The guy is trolling.
He’s been saying Condit got on his bike since the fight happened.
Luke Nelson - February 9, 2012
And the saga continues...
Jesus Age Christ. For a guy who didn’t like the “beauty pageant” he sure has created the biggest fucking soap opera MMA has ever seen.
nickrodamous - February 9, 2012
incorrect
it’s Jesus H. Christ…the H is for Harold…as in Harold be thy name.
tigerlee - February 9, 2012
Im athiest.
sorry didn’t know about the H thing ops anyway how did Werdum create the biggest soap opera?
nickrodamous - February 9, 2012
it means nothing
There’s an old saying that goes “religion is like the smile on dog”…not that Werdum’s a dog, but it’s something we think we see or want to see, that what might easily be misconstrued as a friendly gesture is anything but. Guess I should end this, it’s one of the ban-able topics.
tigerlee - February 9, 2012
ChillMike - February 9, 2012
Anybody else
See a connection between the lack of confirmation of the Condit-Diaz rematch and what’s happening here today?
Patrick Wyman - February 9, 2012
You’re just connecting those dots now?
Worldisart - February 9, 2012
Haven't been reading the comments or following the story
Up until right now. But thanks for the clarification.
Patrick Wyman - February 9, 2012
The drug test thing has been floating around for a couple days.
Worldisart - February 9, 2012
Well
I haven’t heard about it, so forgive my ignorance.
Patrick Wyman - February 9, 2012
Just bustin your chops
Worldisart - February 9, 2012
Point I was trying to make
Is that we can pretty safely narrow this down to either Diaz or Condit, of whom Diaz is the likelier candidate.
Patrick Wyman - February 9, 2012
He’s having a bad day, can’t take him to seriously
Afrotikiman - February 9, 2012 via mobile
It's all but confirmed since shortly after Condit agreed
KGNLuc - February 9, 2012
feiwongfu - February 9, 2012
Stephen Thompson tested positive for a drug that would kill any human with less awesomeness.
mountaineers101 - February 9, 2012
Gonna try this again. Says it doesn't work for me.
mountaineers101 - February 9, 2012
hooyah!
360 Tebowing
Hushh - February 9, 2012
I hate that anytime someone goes down to one knee it is now known as Tebowing.
People have been doing that shit forever. Fuck Tim Tebow.
TitanFan2K - February 9, 2012
relax
I just wrote it like that for shits and giggles
Hushh - February 9, 2012
sorry
wasn’t directed at you, more at the whole Tebow phenomenon in general
TitanFan2K - February 9, 2012
I don't know if you heard
Like planking, Tebowing is out. Bradying is in.
The Lethal Haze - February 9, 2012
Man the kick is almost as good as the celebration.
T.C. Engel - February 9, 2012
of all the fighters out there...
nick diaz is the last name that comes to mind when i think of PED/other such drugs. the guy is so prideful, he hates strongman fighters like GSP, and accuses them for not being real fighters, doing gymnastics and what not.
i dont like diaz, thats that, but i hope he gets cleared. i wanna see GSP smash him.
carmine99 - February 9, 2012
Weed on the other hand...
Sweet Scientist - February 9, 2012
isn't medical marijuana permitted though ?
atleast that what i assumed all this time.
carmine99 - February 9, 2012
not in Vegas
Nevada doesn’t have an exemption
Cory Braiterman - February 9, 2012
no, just like lots of other medical drugs are not allowed.
Phildo - February 9, 2012
thx for clearing that up.
carmine99 - February 9, 2012
Tainted suplements. It was too easy.
dancingChicken - February 9, 2012
les rallizes denudes - February 9, 2012
i wouldnt buy those frames, if they were for free.
carmine99 - February 9, 2012
I wouldn't either.
Gucci is for Kreayshawn and hipsters, and I’m neither.
les rallizes denudes - February 9, 2012
If they were free
He wouldn’t be wearing them either ;)
KGNLuc - February 9, 2012
Forrest Lynn got them for him for their wedding anniversary.
mountaineers101 - February 9, 2012
What supplements?
Charles Awad - February 9, 2012
I didn't know Lyoto Machida is selling his "drink".
av1o3 - February 9, 2012
The worst part of this picture
is he that he kept the sticker on so people would know they were Gucci.
av1o3 - February 9, 2012
lol gucci
as rampage would say “he wears a tiara, has nipple rings, looks funny”
i wish page could smash him, then talk cash money shit on that ass
Gouken - February 9, 2012
Have you ever fought Carlos Conduit
..on WEED?
Rob Young - February 9, 2012
the best thing to come out of all this is the rise in total views for Half-Baked…I’m watching it tonight…on WEED!
tigerlee - February 9, 2012
Is that a young Jon Stewart...?
ElliotMatheny - February 9, 2012
you've never seen Half Baked?
I thought that was required viewing in college.
The Lethal Haze - February 9, 2012
I changed the channel after 10 minutes
retarded stoner flicks don’t really appeal to me. I can’t stand Cheech and Chong, either.
Out Cold is a much better stoner movie from that era.
ElliotMatheny - February 9, 2012
I mean, Half Baked at this point transcended the stoner movie label
Its straight up pop culture. Can’t honestly recommend u watch it, given your disposition, but its a funny movie.
The Lethal Haze - February 9, 2012
I might give it a second chance.
It just seemed really stupid at the time. And I LOVE Chapelle.
ElliotMatheny - February 10, 2012
Vague email from Kizer, a bit unnecessary
Now we have this
skarphace - February 9, 2012
if medical marijuana is illegal
then so should TRT!
barzillatron - February 9, 2012
I have reason to believe Matt Riddle had BVandDietPepsi in his system
IRodC - February 9, 2012
My crazy is more of a controlled anger variety. Riddle is batshit loony.
BVandDietPepsi - February 9, 2012
Its,prob werdum for steroids he looked extra big.
mlzybaby - February 9, 2012 via mobile
dont be scared of sobriety homie
Gouken - February 9, 2012

ufc dodged a bullet looks to be.suspend
Elstriko - February 9, 2012 via Android app
From Ariel Helwani
AAAAAAAAND There it is
IRodC - February 9, 2012
what if this is an epic troll job by cesar
and he knows its not nick but is playing it off like it is just to keep his name out there and build up even more drama/suspense.
barzillatron - February 9, 2012
too bad that's not true
