Dana White On Nick Diaz Failed Drug Test: 'I Am Beyond Disappointed'

Earlier today, Keith Kizer of the Nevada State Athletic Commission announced that Nick Diaz tested positive for marijuana after his UFC 143 fight with Carlos Condit.
It's been a turbulent few days for Diaz. After losing a close and controversial decision to Condit in the main event of UFC 143, a frustrated Diaz announced his retirement from MMA. Yesterday, word leaked of the UFC's plans for a Condit vs. Diaz rematch as Condit's first defense of the UFC Interim Welterweight Title, but those plans were immediately called into question at the same time that Kizer announced one fighter had failed a drug test. Many assumed it was Diaz, and those suspicions were proved to be correct.
Now, the UFC has issued a statement from Dana White, and it is short and clear:
I am beyond disappointed that he tested positive for marijuana. It is now in the hands of the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
This is not the first time Diaz has tested positive for marijuana. After his 2007 defeat of Takanori Gomi in one of the final Pride shows, Diaz also failed a drug test, resulting in that victory being overturned into a No Contest. This is also the second time in his recent UFC tenure that Diaz has caused the company massive headaches. His failure to show up for press conferences in the lead-up to UFC 137 caused them to pull him from the planned Diaz vs. GSP main event, and now this news will surely derail any plans for Condit vs. Diaz 2 happening anytime soon.

He is disappointed
Which means he is not angry, which means he won’t get cut.

He would have been angry if Diaz had won.

Who is most people? BloodyElbow, MMAWeekly, Sherdog, FightMetric, CompuStrike, and most importantly, the judges had the fight for Condit. I wish people would stop pulling “facts” from their brains.

Well, not like it matters anyway. Even if he were gifted the decision, the fight would’ve been overturned and he would’ve been stripped of the title. And then we’d have a clusterfuck on a whole different level.

i'm not sure how much of a hassle this is.
the fight still happened, and he lost. it doesn’t leave the UFC in a bad situation, much like the sonnen loss to silva didn’t leave them in a compromising position. is diaz mega-annoying to dana? sure. so is chael. but he didn’t pimp them. he pimped his self.
Would have a ton more respect for Dana
had he just stared down the reporter who took this quote and siad: “Don’t be scare, Homie!!!”

It would be awesome if Dana simply dead-eye stared down ALL reporter questions, squinted, and then squatted and took a massive gorilla shit on the stage. After nodding to the gathered crowd, he would nod knowingly, then walk off like a boss. No actual quotes to the media would be provided, other than his primordial grunting (during the aforementioned gorilla shit).
It’s TIME, folks! Sweet baby Jesu, it’s time …
I now have a signature statement. Behold!
Thats a pretty mild statement for Dana
No sanctions will come from the UFC, I guess its for the best
Damn I expected a strong reaction, maybe he knows the sentence will only be a couple months

Unfortunately Nick took a shit on the plans of a rematch even though Condit accepted..I honestly no longer have any faith in him, nor do I think he gives a damn about any of his fans or the sport itself. When he comes back I hope they make him fight only wrestleboxers until he gathers enough losses to get cut.
now that's punishment

This is really disappointing.
But let’s remember that Nick Diaz is just being Nick Diaz. And we love Nick Diaz. So I look forward to Diaz vs. GSP in about a year’s time, when he comes back from this ban. Don’t forget Diaz had already earned his shot a GSP before his win over BJ Penn and loss to Condit. So he has every right to claim what is rightfully his, when he comes back.
Ummmmm....no. He lost AND tested positive for a banned substance since then so that kind of negates his "rightful" shot at GSP.

Seems to have worked out fine for Chael

After Chael got his wrist slap
then had two fights in between.
I’d be down with Diaz serving his time, fighting a couple times then getting another title shot if he’s winning
If Anderson wasn't hurt
The fight would have already happened.
Chael chose not to wait around IIRC.

He was suspended
and that cancelled the fight. They shortened the suspension, then the money laundering thing affected him, and it basically, combined, became a nine month suspension, and he was off for a year anyway.
Plus Dana seemed to have a different attitude about Chaels issue then Nicks, for sure.
I think he would have gotten the shot following the Stann win
Which was extremely impressive.
Dana’s only issue is making money. When Nick comes back(if he chooses to), he’ll be right back “in the mix”.
This is a division that saw Dan Hardy fight for title and Paul Daley one win away.

Its a deep, tough division. It just works out like that sometimes.

Yeah
As far as position in the division is concerned, he won’t really be affected. The drug test failure will be largely ignored upon his return.

His stock is going up among fans and he is even more hated by anti-fans(?).
Even Ben Fowlkes says he only likes Diaz more now. He is the magic man right now. Shame he can’t fight…

"You'll get Lil Wayne in woman pants and like it!" - Krimson
The difference is
Chael is the legitimate number 1 contender in the Middleweight division, in that he came back from suspension, ran through Stann and then got past Bisping.
Apart from Munoz who’s injured he’s the only contender who hasn’t been owned by Silva and seems to have a decent chance of winning the rematch.
Welterweight is a whole different story, in that it has a whole bunch of up and comers who could potentially put up a good fight for both the Champ. Apart from being a loudmouth and the Strikeforce champ, in a year’s time is Diaz really going to have a better argument for a shot then Ellenberger, Hendricks, Rory Macdonald or even Fitch if they win a couple in that time? And if he does fight them (like Chael had too), would he get past a couple of those guys?
I think that Diaz got two good style match-ups in the lead up to this almost title shot and still managed to ensure he won’t ever get one. BJ Penn lacks the gas tank and motivation to hang with Diaz’s style and Condit isn’t one of the divisions many wrestle-boxers which I think are the worst match up for Diaz.
Seriously best case scenario for Diaz is he comes back in a year and Dana likes him enough to give him a Condit rematch and then maybe another good style match up so they can finally make Diaz/GSP happen.

and anybody that says it alleviates pain is lying to you and to the government. it’s just an excuse to get high. trust me. i have my card.
trust me. i have my card.
Yeah, you are a moron.
There are plenty of people like you who have their card and use cannabis recreationally, I have no problem with that at all. There are also just as many who do use it therapeutically, and I know numerous cancer patients who DO use it to kill pain and stimulate their appetite. My problem is with people like you who perpetuate the stereotype that “it’s just for getting high, man.” That’s utter bullshit and it’s because of people like you that it stays illegal for the most part.

I apologize for calling you a moron, that was uncalled for.
I still strongly disagree with you, especially with the statement “anybody that says any different is lying.” So because you don’t get any pain relief nobody else does? Utter BS. You know there are different ways to ingest it than smoking, yeah? Tinctures and salves absolutely help with pain, I’ve seen way too much evidence to support this. I live in Colorado where it is legal (as per doctor prescription) and I’ve heard about and seen first hand so many people benefit from the plant. I take issue with your vague statements saying that is only good for getting high.
Also I think my reading comprehension is just fine, I understood your haphazadly thrown together sentence.
"My days they are the highway kind, they only come to leave."
except you're wrong
People with acute debilitating pain get great relief from getting high. I’m sure a vast majority of people with the cards are using an excuse to get high but people do medically benefit from, myself included.

"I think that he’s a guy that got into it before this whole thing blew up. He was 16 and dropped out [of school] and that was 12 years ago. The UFC wasn’t what the UFC is now; MMA wasn’t what MMA is now. He didn’t get into this thing at all for the attention, he didn’t bargain for this side of it.
There is certainly the argument that you have to take the good with the bad and you have to show up to press conferences and all that but I think Nick maybe more than any guy that I’ve covered is truly just a fighter. That’s what he does, that’s what he lives.
He does nothing else, besides a little bit of herbal extra-curricular activity, he does nothing else but train, nothing.
If you go into his house it’s a bunch of fighters that live there. It’s a nice house… There’s Jiu Jitsu mats where the dining room is… There’s like a chandelier hanging over these Jiu Jitsu mats in what should be a dining room but he has no use for that, so there are mats in the room there’s mats all over the place, there’s workout equipment everywhere you look and that’s all he does and that’s not fake."
