that should be an awesome fight and if Anderson Silva loses to Diaz i think the winner should get the shot at Weidman or Vitor

Rory via murder.

Lombard is really over hyped IMO. He'll get exposed this fight.

Jon Jones left rehab after 1 night according to his mom. He will be at his brother's game this weekend.

Defeats DC and then goes on to defeat cocaine addiction in a day. GOAT.

Seriously though, I haven't seen any information out there that proves or disproves that he has a serious problem with the drug. Hopefully this incident will make him get his **** together.

Yeah, I always thought rehab was just for press. I dont know many coke addicts who can do coke on December 8 and stop doing it for a month leading up to a fight. He's probably a casual coke user and has the bad luck that NSAC accidentally tested for it out-of-competition.

Coke use in MMA isnt as rare as people think. I have good friends of mind who witnessed Chuck Liddell do all sorts of drugs back in his heyday.

Yeah, I don't see Jones being like Liddell, who was definitely headed down a dark path 6-7 years ago. It's really something that Chuck was able to compete at the level he did for so long because he certainly got caught up in the party scene.

Jones is still very young. Not excusing what he's done at all but I am hoping he saw this test as a wake-up call (maybe The Rock should have him on his show?) and he can find a better circle of friends to hang with.

and he keeps going after him? is he trying to practice getting suspended? I won't mind if he does it to Diaz though

I'm scared for Nick Diaz.

I completely excuse it. For me it's just a dead ringer for recreational use. If I had to guess, he probably does it a few times a year and to that I say it's no big deal. I could be wrong, but I doubt it - you couldn't be an 'addict' doing it a few times a week or more and be a world champion. It's the kind of drug that would cripple your training and suck all your strength away.

I don't think it's anything to worry about and he'll probably cut it out because he got caught - but really I think a lot of media (talk radio here) is making way too big of a deal out of it. And because of the relationship fighters have with the UFC, I don't agree with NFL comparisons with people saying the UFC needs to crack down on him, as long as he's in shape for his fights and fulfills his obligations in the octagon and promotional obligations, just let it go.

Nate Diaz got paid $16K for his last fight. Even if he had gotten a win bonus and hadn't been docked part of his purse, that's still peanuts for a guy like him. UFC blows and so does whoever negotiates his deals.

Really? He's a mid level fighter. He's beat some names like Maynard and Cerrone and a ton of losses to named fighters.

Diaz has a name but not one that headlines cards or gets ppv sales. I could see him getting more like 30/30k but he's right around what mid level fighters make.

Maybe I'm overestimating the fan base that he has, but I feel like that has to count for something. It's not on Nick's level, but he has a ton of people who like to see him fight. He's been in the UFC forever and he's always on the main card. 30/30 even seems a bit low to me.
