Nick Diaz thanks Cher for her support in NAC case

Despite Nick Diaz' five-year suspension by the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC), the Stockton fighter appears to be in good spirits. Diaz, 32, was spotted coming out of a nightclub on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood on Thursday night. TMZ were nearby and offered Diaz their full support.

Fans, fighters and members of the media aren't the only ones backing the former Strikeforce welterweight champion - on Monday, pop sensation Cher sent out a tweet linking her 2.8 million followers to the White House petition calling for Diaz' 5-year ban to be lifted.

"That's nice of her," Diaz said when TMZ asked him about Cher's supportive tweet.
