Even almost a month after the Nevada Athletic Commission's verdict, which opted for a five-year hook and a large cash fine, the fighter's suspension Nick Diaz for having tested positive for marijuana at UFC 183, he continues to make waves. After several demonstrations of support, which included less relevant names, even the champion Ronda Rousey, it was the Irishman’s turn Conor McGregor come out in defense of the controversial North American.
“The situation of Nick Diaz It's absolutely ridiculous. I can barely hold myself together through it all. I hope all is well with him, as I have always been a big fan of his fighting style. It will be a sad day if Nick can no longer put on his gloves and enter the Octagon”, said McGregor, in an interview with the podcast “The MMA Hour”.
Caught for the third time in Nevada for using marijuana, Nick Diaz, who in his last fight faced the Brazilian Anderson Silva, who is also serving a suspension for being caught in a drug test, appealed the NSAC decision. Furthermore, an online petition, which even had the support of singer and actress Cher, also calls for a review of the sentence imposed on the “Bad Boy from Stockton”.
