Here’s a comparison of Diaz’s punishment with other fighters:
- Hector Lombard, designer steroid, one year, $70,649
- Anderson Silva, two steroids and two banned anti-anxiety meds, one year, $380,000
- Nick Diaz, marijuana, five years, $166,500
Diaz’s legal team will almost certainly challenge the ruling before the Nevada State Supreme Court, so it is highly unlikely that we have seen the end of this case. That said, Diaz’s immediate fighting future is over.
So go back, MMA fans, and look over the good times. Watch his Gogogomiplata and his one-round barnburner with Paul Daley. Those are likely a thing of the past.
