<p>Woof, woof. </p> <p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/108/nick-diaz">Nick Diaz</a> still believes he won his fight against <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/101/anderson-silva">Anderson Silva</a> at <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.mmafighting.com/fight-card/645/ufc-183">UFC 183</a> earlier this year. Even though the Octagon-side judges all came to the conclusion that "The Spider" did enough to get the win in "Sin City."</p>

<p>And he's ready to prove he's the better mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, once again calling for a rematch against the former <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.mmafighting.com/weight-class/middleweight">Middleweight</a> champion.</p>
<p>But, he has a few changes he'd like to make, as the Stockton slugger posted via <a href="https://instagram.com/p/2R85ojpXfi/?taken-by=nickdiaz209">Instagram</a> that he wants the rematch to take place in a PRIDE FC-style ring, not Ultimate Fighting Championship's (UFC) "dog cage." He also wants the promotion to implement yellow cards much like PRIDE used to do.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Diaz has long favored PRIDE-style rules over the current unified set -- he is very familiar with both <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2011/3/27/2075119/history-in-the-making-nick-diaz-busts-out-a-submission-of-the-year">having competed for each organization during his prime.</a></p>
<p>Nick hasn't competed since coming up short to Silva over Super Bowl weekend, and as it stands, he has no plans to step foot in side the Octagon anytime soon. <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/4/15/8419923/anderson-silva-has-unfinished-business-with-nick-diaz-asks-for-ufc-rematch-brazil-mma" target="_blank">Not like either man could if they wanted to anyway</a>.</p>
<p>But, it's safe to assume that if <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/2230/dana-white">Dana White</a> and Co. came knocking with a do over against Silva, Diaz would be all over it, old ring or rusty cage.</p>

<p>Maybe he wants to prove he can beat him clean?</p> <p>Anderson Silva appears to be looking for attention, as the former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight titleholder has taken to his <a href="https://instagram.com/p/1fLu9TiMo_/?taken-by=spiderandersonsilva" target="_blank">Instagram account</a> to ask for a rematch against Nick Diaz, <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/1/26/7919157/ufc-183-results-silva-vs-diaz-live-stream-updates-online-play-by-play-mma" target="_blank">despite already beating him at UFC 183</a>.</p>
<p>I say that because Silva has a dozen ways to contact UFC President Dana White, and is not some 0-1 rookie who needs to call on social media to get the boss's attention. So what's he up to? According to "The Spider," he has "unfinished business" with Diaz.</p>
<p>His words:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I believe that there is some things that are unfinished between me & Nick Diaz, I now hope that you, Dana White can accept my request & make a rematch possible in my country, Brazil.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Add this to his long list of <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/4/13/8406593/ufc-anderson-silva-wants-to-represent-brazil-in-taekwondo-at-2016-olympic-games-mma" target="_blank">wacky demands</a>.</p>
<p>Perhaps Silva is forgetting that he's currently suspended by Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) for <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/3/7974583/breaking-ufc-183s-anderson-silva-tests-positive-anabolic-steroid-nick-diaz-marijuana/in/7741766" target="_blank">failing a steroids test</a> before his Diaz fight. Even if the promotion wanted to, "The Spider" is unable to compete until his disciplinary hearing, <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/3/19/8252895/ufc-anderson-silva-asks-nsac-to-postpone-upcoming-hearing-for-failed-drug-tests-mma" target="_blank">where he could face a lengthy suspension</a>.</p>

<p>Delaying the inevitable?</p> <p>Anderson Silva, as well as Nick Diaz, and their respective teams have formally requested that their hearings with Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) be postponed until April 9, 2015,</p>
<p>That's according to a report from <a href="http://sportv.globo.com/site/combate/noticia/2015/03/spider-pede-adiamento-e-julgamento-agora-deve-ocorrer-ate-9-de-abril.html">Combate</a> (via <a href="http://As%20of%20last%20Friday,%20Silva%20still%20had%2020%20more%20days%20to%20form%20his%20official%20defense%20against%20the%20accusations,%20but%20asked%20for%20a%20time%20extension%20nonetheless.">Bloody Elbow</a>), which states that "The Spider" still had 20 more days to form his official defense against the accusations as of March 13. Diaz, meanwhile, will also be given more time to explain (again) <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/3/7975181/ufc-issues-statement-nick-diaz-failed-drug-test-respect-nsac-disciplinary-hearing-mma">the excessive amount marijuana in his system post-fight</a>.</p>
<p>Clearly, Silva's legal team felt it needed more time to create a proper defense for Silva, who will have to answer a bevy of questions to explain the reason he tested positive for steroids <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/4/7976735/pic-anderson-silvas-failed-ufc-183-drug-test-for-steroids-mma">before</a> and <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/4/7977725/news-updates-anderson-silva-failed-drug-test-steroids-peds-nick-diaz-ufc-183-nsac">after</a> his fight against Diaz, which went down at UFC 183 on Jan. 31, 2015.</p>
<p>The former Middleweight champion will also have to explain <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/17/8052099/ufc-183-anderson-silva-sfailed-post-fight-drug-test-steroids-anti-anxiety-medication-mma/in/7741766">those anti-anxiety meds</a>, too.</p>
<p>Silva has <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/5/7984507/anderson-silva-denies-ped-usage-prior-to-ufc-183-im-an-advocate-for-a/in/7741766">maintained his innocence</a> throughout the whole ordeal; one that has undoubtedly inflicted a major blow to Silva's image and legacy in the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA), as he has long been revered as one of the most respected fighters in the game.</p>
<p>His win over Diaz (<a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/1/7958713/anderson-silva-vs-nick-diaz-full-fight-video-highlights-ufc-183-youtube-mma">which you can see here</a>) has since been <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/6/7992549/no-contest-anderson-silvas-victory-over-nick-diaz-at-ufc-183/in/7741766">overturned to a no-contest (NC)</a> by NSAC.</p>
<p>Silva's failed tests were just a few of many that occurred in the early part of 2015, as Diaz, Hector Lombard and Jon Jones <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/12/8027499/ufcs-dana-white-and-lorenzo-fertitta-to-address-recent-failed-drug-test-press-conference-mma">failed their respective drug tests</a>, as well.</p>
<p>Speaking of Lombard, he is still set to appear in front of NSAC on March 23, 2015, to answer for his transgressions.</p>

<p>"Raging" Al admits his celebration got a little out of control after hitting the bar early. </p> <p>Al Iaquinta has been making waves in the highly-competitive Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight division, winning three straight over the likes of Rodrigo Damm, Ross Pearson and more recently, Joe Lauzon.</p>
<p>After knocking out "J-Lau" at UFC 183 back on Jan. 31, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada (<a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/1/31/7958159/ufc-183-results-al-iaquinta-batters-gritty-joe-lauzon-technical-knockout-lightweight-mma">recap</a>), "Raging" decided to celebrate early, admitting during his interview on <a href="http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/2/16/8039541/the-mma-hour-with-frankie-edgar-urijah-faber-at-same-time-benson">The MMA Hour</a> that he snuck into a closed bar at The MGM Grand Garden Arena to get his drink on.</p>
<p>Iaquinta also revealed that the contents in the cup he had at the post-fight presser (<a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/1/7958043/ufc-183-post-fight-press-conference-full-video-replay-youtube-silva-diaz-dana-white">video</a>) had a little bit more than just water, which could explain his good mood (via <a href="http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/2/18/8059913/al-iaquinta-talks-wrecking-hotel-room-after-joe-lauzon-win-i-was">MMA Fighting</a>).</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i>"I was hammered, bro. Yeah, we had a little vodka and soda in there. There was a 25-minute Nick Diaz fight, so we had some time to kill. The bar closed, they closed the bar. Conor McGregor gets like a $75 million glass of freakin' whatever the hell he gets. I had to sneak in the back and steal some vodka. There was a room in the back, it was like a bar but it was closed. I snuck in there and greased the bartender, and he made me a bunch of them (drinks). He must have thought I was freaking Anderson Silva or something because he put them on a plate and carried them. I felt like I had a butler."</i></p>
</blockquote>
<p>But the celebrating didn't end there, as Al and his buds proceeded to trash his hotel room. To make matters worse, video of the incident was accidentally uploaded to Iaquinta's <a href="http://instagram.com/aliaquinta">Instagram</a> account.</p>
<p>It has since been deleted.</p>
<p>Despite popular belief that his trashing of the room was due to the fact that Al was enraged for not receiving a "Fight Night" bonus, "Raging" said that wasn't the case, as he was simply happy for knocking out Lauzon.</p>
<p>His words:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i>"I was wrecking that hotel, man. I wasn't pissed, I was actually pretty happy. It was more celebrating. That's the best time to wreck something, go crazy, you know? The refrigerator got thrown, a cart tipped over. Al these things were accidents. It's kind of like a game, we will find out and see. If they send you a bill or they don't send you a bill. I'll give it a month or two. Keeping my fingers crossed." </i></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Still, despite getting passed over for a $50,000 bonus, Iaquinta hopes he gets some discretionary cheddar from UFC down the line; preferably around the same time he receives a bill to pay for the damage done to his room.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i>"Usually they will send something like a month after. Hopefully that will come right at the time that they send me the bill for the hotel room. Then, we can just like call it even."</i></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Iaquinta will look to keep his streak alive when he takes on Jorge Masvidal at UFC Fight Night 63 on April 4, 2015 at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Virginia (<a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/1/19/7834317/latest-ufc-fight-night-63-fight-card-rumors-updates-mendes-vs-lamas-fox-sports-1-virginia-mma" target="_blank">details</a>).</p>
<p>If he manages to get his fourth straight win, perhaps the talented lightweight can refrain from trashing another hotel room and find other ways to celebrate.</p>

<p>If history tells us anything, it's only a matter of time before Gracie gets his wish. </p> <p>The backlash from <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/101/anderson-silva">Anderson Silva's</a> <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/4/7976735/pic-anderson-silvas-failed-ufc-183-drug-test-for-steroids-mma">failed drug test </a> prior to his showdown against <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/108/nick-diaz">Nick Diaz</a> at last weekend's (Sat. Jan. 31, 2015) <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.mmafighting.com/fight-card/645/ufc-183">UFC 183</a> pay-per-view (PPV) event in Las Vegas, Nevada, <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/4/7977083/mma-fighters-react-on-twitter-to-anderson-silvas-failed-ufc-183-pre-fight-drug-test">is still trickling in</a>.</p>
<p>This time, it's Diaz's head trainer, Cesar Gracie, chiming in by saying that "The Spider's" win over his pupil (<a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/1/7958713/anderson-silva-vs-nick-diaz-full-fight-video-highlights-ufc-183-youtube-mma">see it</a>) should be overturned immediately on the heels of the revelation that the Brazilian bomber had steroids in his body prior to fight night.</p>
<p>"In my opinion it needs to be overturned because you got a guy on performance-enhancing drugs," Gracie declared during his conversation with <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2015/02/03/nick-diaz-trainer-overturn-the-fight-anderson-silva-is-a-cheater/">TMZ</a>.</p>
<p>In Gracie's view, if Silva -- who is considered to be one of the all time best pound-for-pound mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters in the world -- needs to be taking performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) at his age (39) to keep up, then maybe he needs to find something else to do other than fighting.</p>
<p>"I get it. Silva is getting up there in age, but if you need steroids to fight you shouldn't be fighting," stated the famed trainer.</p>
<p>Of course, <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/3/7974583/breaking-ufc-183s-anderson-silva-tests-positive-anabolic-steroid-nick-diaz-marijuana">Diaz also pissed hot</a>, as his post-fight drug test result showed that the had traces of marijuana in his system. While Gracie didn't go as far as excuse Nick's wrongdoing, he says anyone with "half a brain" knows weed is not a PED.</p>
<p>"Anyone with half a brain would know weed is not a performance enhancing-drug," Gracie says. "They make them take a test before they even license him to fight in Nevada."</p>
<p>That means Diaz took another test and passed it to get licensed to fight. And for those who ask <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/4/7974149/how-will-pound-for-pound-great-anderson-silva-be-remembered">what Silva' legacy will be </a> after this unforeseeable incident, Gracie says it will be tarnished forever, as many will now begin to question his past victories.</p>
<p>"[The positive test] definitely tarnishes his legacy because people are going to look at his other fights and question if he was using steroids then too," he concluded.</p>
<p>While Silva <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/4/7976849/anderson-silva-denies-steroid-usage-prior-to-ufc-183">denies any wrongdoing</a> on his end, he and Diaz are temporarily suspended from the sport as a result of their infractions, and will be summoned to appear in front of the Nevada Sate Athletic Commission (NSAC) soon to answer for their failed tests.</p>
<p>And more than likely, to receive further punishment which, much to the joy of Gracie, will almost certainly see Silva's win overturned to a "No Contest."</p>

<p>While the <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/3/7974583/breaking-ufc-183s-anderson-silva-tests-positive-anabolic-steroid-nick-diaz-marijuana" target="_blank">mixed martial arts (MMA) community is up in arms regarding Anderson Silva's positive test for steroids</a> in a pre-fight drug screening for UFC 183, it seems most everyone else is completely ambivalent to Nick Diaz's third failed test for marijuana.</p>
<p>Even Diaz's longtime coach Cesar Gracie <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/2/4/7975801/coach-nick-diaz-wasnt-licensed-to-fight-until-days-before-ufc-183-due">told MMAFighting</a> that Diaz's test was essentially expected:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"It's not a shocker. His DNA is THC, let's face it. No one is surprised by that. I'm disappointed by it. It's just a distraction. It sucks. I don't want any distractions. The guy is such a brilliant fighter. I'd rather be talking about how skilled he is."</p>

<p>Ironically, the true distraction in regards to Diaz's test is the fact that Anderson Silva -- who many consider to be the GOAT -- tested positive for steroids, thus making Diaz's positive test for marijuana seem miniscule in comparison.</p>
<p>Ultimately, Diaz tested positive with 300 ng/ml in his system, which is double over the limit of 150 ng/ml the commission allows. Even though the Stockton native has a medical marijuana card in California, the NSAC does not allow the drug to be used in competition -- which is deemed to be 12 hours before or after the fight.</p>
<p>Just like "The Spider", Diaz is on a temporary suspension from the NSAC, and will need to be at a hearing sometime in March or April for further disciplinary action.</p>

<p>The point was brought up by the legend himself, who mentioned at the post-fight press conference (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/1/7958043/ufc-183-post-fight-press-conference-full-video-replay-youtube-silva-diaz-dana-white">replay here</a>) <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/1/7959765/anderson-silva-retirement-ufc-183-nick-diaz-mma">that his family -- namely his son -- have been asking him to retire from MMA for quite some time.</a></p>
<p>Just a few days later, the tables have turned completely, as "The Spider's" positive test results for Drostanolone and Androstane has caused the MMA community to call into question Silva's illustrious UFC career.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/4/7976849/anderson-silva-denies-steroid-usage-prior-to-ufc-183">Silva has already denied taking steroids</a>, and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/3/7974583/breaking-ufc-183s-anderson-silva-tests-positive-anabolic-steroid-nick-diaz-marijuana">UFC PR has merely put out a "copy and paste" statement</a> in regards to the positive drug test. Now Silva's son Kalyl is back in the limelight, calling the positive test a "rumor" -- even with evidence to the contrary -- and noting that long time supporters of his father are showing their true colors as being "fake".</p>

<p>With Silva's legacy in question, the next few days should be very interesting for the entire MMA community.</p>

<p>Three failed drug tests in a span of one year. All positive results for drostanolone. What is going on at Blackhouse MMA?</p> <p>After the initial hoopla settled following yesterday's stunning news that former UFC middleweight champion <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/4/7976849/anderson-silva-denies-steroid-usage-prior-to-ufc-183">Anderson Silva tested positive for an anabolic steroid</a> and another banned substance in a pre-fight drug test, "The Spider's" camp has come under fire.</p>
<p>On Jan. 9, 2015, Silva was tested by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), but the positive results of that test were only received by the NSAC yesterday, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/3/7974901/report-anderson-silva-not-allowed-nick-diaz-fight-steroids-nsac-ufc-183">which allowed "The Spider" to compete in the UFC 183 main event against Nick Diaz</a>, who happened to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mmamania.com/2015/2/3/7975181/ufc-issues-statement-nick-diaz-failed-drug-test-respect-nsac-disciplinary-hearing-mma">fail his own drug test for marijuana -- for the third time in his career.</a></p>
<p>In the last calendar year, Black House MMA has now had three fighters test positive for the anabolic steroid drostanolone, with Silva become the unceremonious icing on the cake.</p>
<p>Following his rousing victory in his Octagon return at UFC 175, The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) veteran <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/9/24/6835057/ufc-nsac-suspends-kevin-casey-failed-ufc-175-drug-test-robert-drysdale-tabled-mma">Kevin Casey tested positive for drostanolone.</a> Not even a month later, Casey's teammate <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/8/24/6061055/pic-brian-ortega-apologizes-ufc-fans-testing-positive-drostanolone-steroids-mma">Brian Ortega tested positive for the exact same anabolic steroid</a> following his UFC debut victory at UFC on FOX 12.</p>
<p>One more interesting tidbit: Both Casey and Ortega were former RFA champions. The President of RFA, which has imported dozens of fighters to UFC over the last year, is none other than Silva's manager and longtime friend Ed Soares.</p>
<p>Of course, Casey and Ortega are not even in the same stratosphere when discussing the legendary Silva, so when <a target="_blank" href="http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2015/2/3/7974825/ufc-anderson-silva-3rd-black-house-mma-fighter-drostanolone-mma-news">BloodyElbow initially</a> brought forth the eerie coincidence that both Casey and Ortega had been training at Black House MMA during their failed drug tests, not much was thought of it.</p>
<p>Following "The Spider's" positive test for drostanolone, the story can no longer be swept under the rug, and Black House MMA will undoubtedly be coming under fire over the next several weeks.</p>
<p>Black House MMA has a nutrition expert on staff, Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Rogerio Camoes. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo_Ga4ja8FA" target="_blank">In a video from April 2013,</a> Camoes is seen discussing the importance of supplements. Interestingly enough, the very first line from Camoes seems heinous in hindsight.</p>
<p>His words:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Sometimes we can not fulfill the necessities of our bodies through regular diet only - that's why people take supplements."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Camoes goes on to discuss the difference between supplements and steroids:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Not too long ago, there was some confusion between supplements and steroids. They are two different things. Although, it is true that some supplements are like steroids and people have to be careful with the kind of supplements they use. Many times they can be a testosterone derivative and the athlete will be considered as someone who is roiding.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Do you think this is all a coincidence and Black House MMA is not doing anything shady while no one is watching? Or is this the beginning of a major scandal?</p>
<p>Either way, this is not a good look for the sport of mixed martial arts.</p>
