One of the UFC's most exciting fighters, Nick Diaz, was recently suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for 5 years following a 3rd positive test for marijuana. He was also fined $165,000.
Fellow athletes and fans have overwhelmingly shown their support for Diaz, calling the suspension way too harsh for a non performance enhancing drug.
“If one person tests for steroids, that could actually really hurt a person, and the other person smokes a plant that makes him happy, and he gets suspended for five years! Whereas a guy who could hurt someone so much that he could’ve died in there [and] he gets a slap on the wrist! It’s not fair. It’s not fair at all," said Ronda Rousey.
Diaz is now getting support from retired boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., who was incredulous when told the news.
“Man, let that man smoke weed and enjoy his life,” Mayweather said.
