UFC 183 Anderson Silva lands a right on Nick Diaz.....Silva would go on to win by unanimous decision that would later get overturned by NSAC
They suspended me for a third time. For five fucking years for something that makes the whole world a better place. But in the end, I'm just upset I can't be there for my brother right now since he's gonna be fighting soon. It's my bad he even got into this sport and he gets his face kicked in and they don't even pay him. I got us in this, and if I don't make any money, I don't have any way to get us out.
Nick Diaz, on his UFC career/cornering ending five-year suspension and $150,000 fine for legal medical marijuana positive drug test at UFC183

Free Nick Diaz

What we wanted to see in UFC183 was a clean fight between Nick Diaz and Anderson Silva that finished by knockout with a belt around Nick's waist. Nick deserved to win that belt, but more than that, he deserved the respect afforded UFC champions of his toughness and elite caliber. What we got were two very different positive drug tests and a shitstorm marked only by the UFC's staggering incompetence and propensity for unjust punishment. Silva, coming back from his first two career losses to Chris Weidman and one of the goriest leg fractures ever seen in MMA, tested positive for drostanolone metabolites and androsterone, a powerful anabolic steroid. Anderson Silva was caught taking steroids and was suspended for 1 year. Nick Diaz has a prescription for medical marijuana. He tested positive for marijuana metabolites and received an utterly unprecedented five-year suspension from the Nevada Athletic Commission. Diaz, 32, also received a fine of $150,000 and a punishment that very effectively ends his career. If you believe anabolic steroids are befitting of a lesser punishment than medical marijuana, then don't bother, but if you are a fan of Diaz or a person of principle then sign the White House Petition to Free Nick Diaz.

ddlovato: #SPIDER HERE WE GO!!!!!! #UFC183 #Vegas 👏👏👏👏👏
Needles and Blunts and Coke Oh My!!!!
Repost from @microphonephoen working #ufc183 this weekend in Vegas.
Just how bad is the UFC thirsty for money?
Well, Nick Diaz and Anderson Silva have both failed their drug test. Nick pissed hot for weed in the post fight drug test. Who would have thought that? This is different from the Jon Bones Jones drug test because it was post fight.
Remember, Nick was high while fighting the match that made him famous with Takanori Gomi. That was the biggest fight of his life at that point. At this point, it’s Anderson.
Anderson Silva pissed hot in the pre fight, out of competition drug test. The entire out of competition drug testing needs to be addressed quicker that the Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) scandals were. Exactly how far from competition can you have drugs in your system? OK, let’s get a few things straight. When you suffer and injury like Anderson Silva did, doctors give you steroids to speed up the healing process. It just so happens that steroids can be used to enhance your performance as well. Anyone that knows about sports injuries knows that at some point between December 2013-January 2015 there was going to be some Vitamin S in The Spider’s system.
What is starting to upset me is that both Jon Jones and Anderson Silva, arguably the greatest fighters on the planet failed drug test before their fights. Nonetheless, the UFC allowed it to happen anyway. It is understandable that they did not want to fuck their money up, but at the same time, the UFC is looking more and more like the WWE. Pro wrestling is based on fixed fights and before the 1940’s, was comprised of only amateur wrestlers and judoka’s. Real fighters.
2014 was a bad year for the company. Not that they lost money, but because so much potential money got away from them due to injuries. Let’s run down the list, shall we?
UFC 169 was supposed to have Jones v Glover. This didn’t happen because Jon Jones is a troll and just did not want to fight.
UFC 170 was supposed to have Comier v Evans. Evans got hurt.
UFC Fight Night: Manuwa v Gustafsson card was riddled with injuries.
UFC 171. Again no Jones v Glover. Again, Jones is a troll man.
UFC 173. Chris Weidman, the middle weight champ was to square off against Vitor Belfort. TRT rules suddenly change and that fight was scraped. On the same card Renan Barao, the Bantamweight champ was to go against Raphael Assuncao. TJ Dillashaw replaced Raphael who was injured. Barao-Dillashaw is not a great last minute headlining event.
UFC 172. With Belford out of the picture for a while, Ryoto(not Lyoto) Machida stepped in as the #1 contender for the middleweight belt. Weidman got hurt.
UFC Fight Night on May 31st was to have Cheal Sonnen v Wanderlie Silva. For whatever the reason it got pushed back. Same card was to have Junior Dos Santos vs Miocic. JDS got hurt. Remember, this card is in Brazil. Wanderlie and JDS are heroes and Sonnen has made so many anti-Brazil comments that he is their biggest villain.
UFC 175. Once again, Sonnen v Wanderlie is pushed back.
UFC 176 is the only card outside of UFC 151:Jones v Dan Henderson that got canceled due to lack of star power. Jose Aldo v Chad Mendes II was supposed to be the headliner for the Featherweight championship. Aldo got hurt.
UFC 177 Dillashaw v Barao II. Barao cannot fight because the affects the weight cut is having on his body. Someone name Soto fights Dillashaw instead. Co-main event starting Demetrious Johnson v Chris Cariso for the Flyweight championship gets moved as well.
UFC 178 Gustafsson v Jon Jones II changes once Gus got hurt and became Comier v Jon Jones. Then Jon gets hurt.
UFC 180 in Mexico was supposed to have Cain Velasquez v Fabrício Werdum. Cain got hurt.
UFC 181. After the TRT issues with Vitor Belford got straighten out, he was to face Chris Weidman for the middleweight belt. Weidman got hurt. Oh yea, in UFC 184 Feb 28th 2015, they were set to face. And Weidman is hurt again!
2014 was terrible because there was NO fight from the Heavyweight Champ. NO Anderson Silva. 1 fight from their Light heavy weight champ Jon Jones, and that was against someone most casual fans are not familiar with. 1 fight from their Middleweight champ, Weidman. You know, the guy that took Anderson Silva out of the game. And 2 fights from Ronda Rousey. The UFC has been building up Conor McGregor well, but 1 upcoming star fighting tomato cans and jobbers does not equal the amount of bona fide stars not facing each other.
2007 was both one of the biggest years for fighters testing positive for steroids as well as the end of the Japanese organization Pride FC. Pride FC did not test for drugs and there are a number of reports from their former fighters that many of them had to fight injured or lose their position with the company. There were not a lot of fighters caught on vitamin S from 2008-2014 because TRT was a loophole. But with the amount of stars coming back this year off of a number of injuries, how much longer will fans and fighters have to wait until the UFC works tighter with the athletic commissions to convey the proper information of drug testing to the public?
