Check it out.

That must suck for Nick.

That is the weakest, most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life. The chairman of the commission should be stripped of his license to practice medicine if he honestly thinks smoking weed is performance enhancing in any way....

Numb the pain? It's THC, not morphine you dumb prick. Wow.

Umm THC can be performance enhancing as it can calm your nerves. But I doubt anyone would really take it prefight as the motor impairment would offset any calming effect. They obviously take it recreationally and so it's not really a performance enhancer and shouldn't be tested for IMO.

THC can also cause the exact opposite effect as in anxiety. It's defintely not a performance enhancer, thats for sure. I can see where it's a banned substance, hence the ND. But to openly admit that the ND was based on the fact they thought THC was a performance enhancing drug, is just embarrassing.

I'm pretty sure Nick wasn't taking bong hits right before his fight.

Hell, I wanted Gomi to win pretty bad. I was pissed when Nick won, but even I know this is fucking stupid.

Maybe Gomi should start smoking weed, he'd be invincible....

I would suggest that the suspension is only valid in Nevada, and that the entire bullshit call can be ignored if Zuffa has any balls.

If I were Dana white I'd set my own policy and show the NSAC who ran things.

They need the NSAC on there side. It is all politics.

Posted by: BoneCrusher

Why? They needed Vegas for the venue ... but that they have. NSAC isn't going to run them out of Vegas ...

Posted by: tucker01

They needed NSAC for acceptance from Politicians who tried to ban them.
