Nick Diaz’s Fate Will Be Known April 22 For Positive Drug Test After UFC 143

News

After testing positive for marijuana after losing to Carlos Condit at UFC 143, Nick Diaz’s punishment will be known in April. Nevada State Athletic Commissioner Keith Kizer will ask the NSAC to uphold the temporary suspension the fighter has at the next meeting, scheduled 2.22, and the formal complaint will most likely be heard on April 22.

“In the past, the norm for a positive test for marijuana is six months, but we have had two repeat offenders and they both got a 12-month suspension,” he said to MMA Junkie. “But that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s what will happen here.”
