You probably know by now that enigmatic UFC fighter Nick Diaz was handed a five-year suspension and $165,000 fine after a third positive test for marijuana metabolites. The latest failure came on the heels of his UFC 183 unanimous decision loss to Anderson Silva in January. After his hearing was delayed many times, he finally had his case heard today - a very compelling case, in fact.
