Nick Diaz said that 'the UFC and Dana is selling everyone wolf tickets' in the pre-fight press conference vs GSP.

After this fight, Nick Diaz tested positive for Marijuana and received a 5 year ban and 165k fine.

Other fighters who test positive for PED's don't receive such harsh bans. Only 1-3 years. Many get a 1 year ban for PEDs. Marijuana is not a PED. On appeal Nick's ban changed to 18 months. Nick could not afford to pay the fine affecting his UFC career.

Do you think there is a discrepancy? Do you think it's impossible for money to be the top priority (and making an example of Nick Diaz for saying wolf tickets), to mean Nick Diaz's ban was the harshest of all?
 
Nick has always been overrated IMO. Fat BJ Penn gave him all he could handle before he gassed out which BJ usually does at 170, Condit showed Nick can't make mid adjustments to save his life, GSP 50-45'd him like he usually did. The guy has fun fights against KJ Noons, Cyborg Santos and Paul Daley cause that's where his ceiling is at. He had fun fights against BJ and Gomi but he was also the heavier fighter.

Nick was a multiple offender at that point. The bans are longer the more times you get busted. He didn't learn anything from his past offenses.
It was a different time and there was a lot more involved than that. Nick Diaz vs GSP was a year long build-up.

They were wolf tickets though, GSP made it look so easy against Nick
Correct. I honestly don't know why people talk about this guy so much.

It was treated as a PED back then and it was his third offense.

That was a time where BJ was going to give anyone all they could handle, if they couldn’t get him down.
Condit also knocked a lot of people out. He was on a war path leading to the GSP fight.
GSP was just a stylistic nightmare for him.

GSP was a stylistic nightmare for most of his opponents and I rooted against GSP when he fought Condit. No one could keep up with the riddum.
 

3 tests in one night (fight night). Test 1 and 3 followed process and passed. Test 2 didn't follow process and was 5x the limit.
Yeah because a fighter would random smoked on fight night.

Nick was a handful if you fought his fight.

Nick’s ceiling was TKOing prime Gomi and Lawler.
 
I only considered this after the Ryan Garcia madness where that commission boss retired right after his positive result which is now in dispute. Follow the money <GrassoBless>
 
remember when nick said someone went to his backstage warm up area pre fight, and forced him to drink a water bottle of unknown origins? pepperidge farms remembers.
 
lol.

You could have just looked this all up using less words than you typed here. Then you wouldn’t have looked as bad by talking about something that happened 9 years ago.

You don’t have to guess.. Just read.
