Dana White releases statement on Nick Diaz drug test failure: 'Beyond disappointed'

Photo of Nick Diaz (left) with UFC President Dana White (right) via CombatLifestyle.com.

With a firestorm swirling now that Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) Executive Director Keith Kizer has spilled the beans on Nick Dia testing positive for "marijuana metabolites" for his UFC 143 bout against Carlos Condit, it was only a matter of time before UFC President Dana White made his voice heard.

It's just somewhat surprising the manner in which he's chosen to do so.

A prepared statement was released to the media today and it's short and sweet (via MMAFighting.com):

"I am beyond disappointed that he tested positive for marijuana," White said in the statement that the UFC distributed to the media. "It is now in the hands of the Nevada State Athletic Commission."

Indeed, it is in the hands of the NSAC and they've filed a complaint for disciplinary action. And, seeing as this is the second time Diaz has been popped for Marijuana while fighting in Nevada, it won't be surprising in the least to see him slapped with a one-year suspension.

That would be an awful long time for White to contemplate exactly what he wants to do with his controversial welterweight top contender. It's a shuffling act for the UFC boss, considering the lack of fighters who can move the needle on pay-per-view (especially with Georges St. Pierre hurt and Brock Lesnar retired).

Of course, Diaz has been one big headache since he came over from Strikeforce. Missing press conferences, missing flights, getting ripped from main event title shots, and now failing drug tests after retiring out of anger due to a close decision.

It's a bad look, Maniacs. Anyone think White will cut ties with the controversial slugger and send him back to Stockton? Or will he simply let the commission do its job and deal with Diaz when he returns from whatever punishment is handed down?

That is true.

The whole Condit Diaz thing has been a shit storm (stating the obvious) and it would have been a nice PPV pay day. A big fat cash cow.

It's true but a little near sighted

The whole scope of this picture is that Dana White kept Diaz away for a few years saying he was an awesome fighter but wouldn’t “play the game.” Diaz finally gets his chance and from step one he is a fucking headache again.

A fairly good take on the situation to be fair.

Was Diaz that much of a problem the first time around? He’s definetly a bigger this time round…..

how will this increase PPV numbers?

will they market him as a pot head or something? he was already relatively unknown, and lost in the UFC, now wont fight for a year? depends on who they give him and he will lose again

I said this as a joke last weekend, but I am actually serious this time.

If Diaz is that big of a headache, if he can’t take losing without really “losing”, and if he can still be a big draw in a year, then set him up to fight at 185 against Anderson Silva.

It would solve all Dana’s problems. The PPV would be HUGE, Diaz would probably get the absolute shit beat out of him, but until that moment, it would be a stand and bang type fight, and Diaz could “lose” without feeling like he got robbed.

This is all a plan from Nick so he can get paid more. His stock has skyrocketed now and more people only want to see the street thug, weed smoker throw bombs or get KTFO. Nick will get off with a 6 month ban, which he mentioned taking time off anyway. In those 6 months more and more fans will anticipate the 209 soldiers return to the octagon. It’s all calculated = profit. He’s very intelligent.

Sort of a contradiction I suppose.

I’m saying that there are a lot of substances that do hurt the body, and that give athletes that certain edge over others, whether it be a speed adv, strength, etc. The commission is good for fighter safety in maintaining the cleanliness of the sport.

My personal view is that pot should be legalized/allowed/not a big deal to use. As of now it’s illegal and banned. The NSAC is doing there job.

Bottom line is Diaz should know the balance and because he didn’t care, he cost himself a lot of money this year

It is an illegal substance regardless of the hug factor.

Listen, I’m the biggest pro-pot person you’ll meet, but there is a time and place for it. Yes, weed is natural, therapeutic, harmless, medicinal, and not allowed in MMA. I’ll even go so far as to say that certain strains of mj allow one to have greater focus and concentration towards the task at hand. This would actually create an unfair advantage to the user no?

You still believe that “Reefer Madness” was a documentary and would also believe that there are no positive uses in this world for a natural herb like marijuana which has proven effects to help insomnia, anxiety and also the digestive system relieving constipation. In fact a few hundred years ago if someone were constipated this was basically a natural laxative. Go fuck yourself with your closed off ideals the UFC dont need your money punk

You simply dont tell your kid to constantly follow rules. Your kid should klnow that rules are guidelines and the best decision are made by our own selves,.

Bringing a child into this world hell bent on rules can ahve a pretty detrimental effect to their learning about the world with open eyes/ears. A lot of rules are backward and as a society a lot of people are working to change them but if you want everyoe to follow the rules made by few then you my sir are scared of reality and FREE WILL…. your kid has a free will that he/she should start excercising earlier rather than later. Thats the way they learn… by making their own mistakes. Your best bet is to just educate on the effects and consequences on certain things you dont believe in.

Besides that they then went on to squash any evidence of benefits in terms of crop cycles(rather quick for textiles) and fed more bullshit propaganda into films(which was a booming and trusted industry then) like reefer madness and stuff like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNiv9U1eyss

I know all about it. It's the same deal with any drug the public deems unfairly criminalized and singled out

And usually this involves demonizing them by using rare instances of people under the influence of said drugs doing really dumb shit. Generalizing.

But the fact remains, a drug is a drug and rule is a rule. It’s a job requirment, for someone like Diaz who complains about not being paid and not given a shot he’s not helping his case by being an idiot like this.

Once again, if you do it at least know enough about it do it without being busted.

But isn’t medicinal marijuana legal in California? I’m sure i read that Diaz had prescribed weed for anxiety and sleeping issues. Does this then not apply when he tests positive post fight, or does the CSAC ruling overide his medical condition. It seems strange that someones medical issues are not accounted for prior to testing?

Anyone?

Nevada and Cali are different states

And as far as i know Nevada is a bit harsh on that stuff… Having said that i have a mate who recently went to Reno(NV) for a wedding and was crossing the state line to go to San Fransisco to their “local” shop to get some medical weed…

As far as i understand the difference between the state laws is that by federal law medicinal marijuana is not techincally legal. In certain states this overrides the State trying to get that going but in Cali they have been fighting to keep it good and i think Mr Schwarzenegger probably had a bit to do with that. So its state law in Cali, not in Nevada though and not Federally legal so in turn its basically illegal for him to have it – the card means fuck all

It’s like im in Adelaide and we have always had very relaxed laws but travelling interstate i know to be a little bit more careful – especially up in QLD – i almost got busted asking around Cavill Ave for weed – the undercover officer knew where i was from and just said to go home – have a few beers and wait till i get home to smoke(as in back in adelaide) – i thought that was quite funny but i knew he wasnt fucking joking….

Easy explanation

My opinion on this is…. he thought going into the condit fight that he would win it.. but him testing positive for pot is all due to “Having to fight GSP” Layout the landscape in your heads people.. am i onto something here maybe? .. lol

Diaz and the pot

Lets face it, Diaz prolly wasnt even smoking the pot, Im sure its just 2nd hand contact from the thugs in LODI he hangs with.. get a clue people

These are suppose to be athletes

Take a second look at this idea – these are suppost to be professional atheletes and roll models…. Clearly, this is poor behaviour of a role model.
I’d bet big money GSP won’t test positive….. Now, that how a real PRO behaves !!

So will his temporary suspension

count towards his 12 month possible suspension? From now til the april hearing is 2 months that should count as time served

Why would the commision care?

It would not affect his performance and isn’t it a misdemenor in Nevada? Does the commission care if a fighter ran a red light too?

SCREW DANA WHITE!

NOW I’M REALLY PISSED OFF..“I’M BEYOND DISAPPOINTED” PFFFF WHAT A DRAMA QUEEN! ATLEAST THEY’RE NOT PEDS, IT DOESNT ENHANCE THEIR PERFORMANCE,WE ALL KNOW NICK WAS CLEAN AT UFC 137 BECAUSE HE DIDNT HAVE TO DEAL WITH ANXIETY TO THE CAMERAS AND MEDIA IN PRIMETIME.AND WE ALSO ALL KNOW THAT NICK DOESNT LIKE THE CAMERAS AND MEDIA BUT HE DEALT WITH IT AT UFC 143 PRIMETIME SO MAYBE HE HAD TO SMOKE WEED TO CALM DOWN

So even if Nick won

The decision against Condit it wouldn’t make a difference because he still can’t fight for a whole year due to the failed test. So GSP/Diaz wasn’t going to happen regardless if he won or not. Funny

So colour me ignorant but

Who gives a shit? Does the NASC run the whole world?

Even tho I initially acted like a small child, I have been forced to come to my senses. enzo-enormous is better at calling fights than I am, by far. I am a little immature but am working on it. Also, I love dudes and cant wait to get a reach around from the 209

But if the UFC wants Diaz to play their game...

Listen, Its no secret Diaz has a form of mild social anxiety that he faces when dealing with the press… Look at how many interviews dude did in the past month. He hates cameras and being filmed, but he had the primetime people following him around for the past month all the time… I mean damn he has a problem and has a medical reason to smoke marijuana… they should give him a pass for it. Its obvious he has problems with social situations, but they force him to go. Would you rather he smoke herb or get so much anxiety that he flips out and commits suicide cuz he cant take the pressure…Gay.. How can yo be allowed to elevate your testosterone but not take a substance that just “mellows you out”??

Cut him he has fucked up twice

Hes not a draw first of all, he can’t beat a wrestler and condit proved he can’t even beat a multi leveled stand up game. Give him koschek so he can retire diaz or even ellenberger after he smashes diego. Preference to kos so they can get this done sooner than later and get rid of this punkass overrated 209 bitch.

I mentioned this above but...

Everyone should look into Kohlberg’s theory of Moral Devlopment and decide where you fall…
I see a lot of stage 1-3 arguing the shit out of some 4-5 principles…

A lot of “it says so he does” vs. “it doesn’t make sense so why?”
but laws is laws… and right is right…
Sometimes you know right and comply with law…
and sometimes you fuck yourself for no reason other than getting stoned… Has no addictive qualities (other than psychological) and yet your stoner ass can’t just deal for 1 month… give me 200,000 plus undisclosed and the possibility of GSP beating money… and I’ll quit breathing for a month!

Can Dana not simply book Diaz

to fight Condit in Japan? Or Brazil? Or Canada?

Last I checked they were all massive MMA markets.The Navada commission can catch a boat if they want to be there to stop it!

Are metabolites performance enhancing?

i think that’s all the athletic commission should worry about. if someone wants to shoot up heroin in their free time it’s up to them unless it enhances their performance. when you talk about “marijuana metabolites” does it make you faster, stronger, quicker, numb to taking damage or make you punch harder? if the answer is no, then who the fuck cares.

as far as if the ufc should cut ties…nick diaz fights whoever, whenever, where ever. Whether you like him or not, you can never say nick diaz doesn’t come to fight every time. i really can’t say that i have ever watched a boring nick diaz fight. he is mma. and yet, the ufc has made millionaires out of some fighters and they fight once a year. that’s fucked up for the fans and for the ufc.

GSP - millionaire

Diaz – poorer than bible’s job.

And to top it off, GSP is the ‘biggest PPV star’. Why? I believe Diaz is more exciting. I believe Anderson is a better finisher! I believe Hendo will literally fight ANYONE.

Canada has been propping up GSP’s popularity.
