    Obviously Nick has had his issues with just about everyone, not the least of which being the UFC, but what happened to him was wrong and it is about time the UFC said something other than "we've got no influence over the NSAC".

    Good.

    The UFC should put him on international cards, as well.

    In this instance, they absolutely should. Diaz has to be fined/suspended, but not for 5 years. IMO they should all together consider not hosting future cards in Nevada until there are drastic changes to the NASC.

    The Nevada Governor's Office will not second-guess the ruling, as expected. Cronyism.

    Jeff Nowitzki, or however it's spelled, who heads up the UFC's anti-doping program, said this week that Diaz should've received no fine or suspension based on the way the tests were conducted/fudged.

    It is! I have no idea. She works in Vegas. Maybe she knows some people from the UFC.

    She has a lot of Twitter followers but I don't think the petition has reached 100,000 signatures, yet.
