“I want to tell each and everyone of them that they’re a bunch of dorks.”
The career of one of the most popular fighters in UFC history could be over.
After testing positive tested positive for marijuana metabolites in his post-fight drug test following his loss to Anderson Silva in January, Nick Diaz was handed a five-year ban by the NSAC at his hearing on Monday evening. This marked the third time he tested positive for the substance in his career.
Diaz was also fined 33% of his $500,000 fight purse for the main event at UFC 183 which amounts to $166,667.
The 32-year-old will be unable to compete until he’s 36 under the ban, which means that his fighting career may be over.
After the hearing, Diaz addressed the media in which he let loose on the “dorks” in the NSAC, shared his thoughts about what’s wrong with modern MMA and how he’s like Ryu from Street Fighter. Check out his emotional response to the sentence in the video embedded below.
