The PPV #s are probably equally bad. We'll find out in a few months. | ||

UFC 191 is the lowest gate for a Las Vegas based PPV since August 2004. The PPV #s are probably equally bad. We'll find out in a few months. https://twitter.com/MikeBohnMMA/status/640570150945705985 The real question is why the UFC keeps giving him PPV cards to headline instead of letting him co-main something like a big fox card (like cerrone/dos anjos) so more people can actually see what he's all about. | ||

his 2 previous main event slots occurred because of injury, not because the UFC wanted him by design to be the main event. i guess this is what happens when you have 454897 events per year and injuries take their toll... it'd be fun to be a fly on the wall at the UFC offices to see the finger-pointing going on right now  that said, ya, free TV would be better...don't even have the guy on PPV at all. | ||

The test he failed was from the same company the NSAC basically called "unreliable" when it came to Wanderlei, but now all of a sudden that companies tests are the gold standard. NSAC is just making this shit up as they go along, randomly handing out punishments. It's a joke, and I really hope this is a catalyst for change. | ||

Diaz is a 3 time offender. in 2013 WADA raised the threshold from 15 nanograms per mL to 150 ng/mL. i know a guy who does those "Apotox" medical studies for extra under the table cash and he can test above 15 ng/mL just by inhaling the 2nd hand smoke of a marijuana smoker. | ||

Even as a 3 time offender 5 years is still too much, especially when they acknowledge that it's basically a lifetime ban at this point. HOWEVER, if Diaz straight up failed his tests I would have less sympathy for him...but he didn't. He "failed" 1 out of 3 tests. The two he passed were handled by a WADA accredited testing facility (SMRTL) and the one he didn't pass was handled by Quest. Apparently, the sample that quest got had a bunch of issues with how it was handled. That's ridiculous and the entire ruling is a joke. The NSAC is a joke. | ||

Doesnt he have a card? the NSAC has had a grudge against Diaz for a long time. I really dont like him as a human but even he doesnt deserve this...this is kind of karma getting back at him for being combative with EVERY althletic comission I dont think it will stick.. the NSAC has no real legal ground to stand on now that he has a card | ||
