“UFC fighter Nick Diaz has had his punishment for a third positive marijuana test reduced to an 18-month suspension and $100,000 fine after reaching a settlement with the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).
Yes, the suspension was reduced to 18 months after Diaz was initially handed a five-year suspension and $165,000 fine in September. You read that right: a five-year suspension for smoking some weed.
Diaz’s suspension was retroactive to his last fight at UFC 183 on Jan. 31, 2015. Thus, as reporter Ariel Helwani notes, Diaz will be available to fight by Aug. 1.”
