Banned UFC star thanks “great friend” Ronda Rousey for having his back
Cejudo is set to face No. 3 flyweight Jussier Formiga at The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America 2 Finale on November . 21 and, after Demetrious Johnson disposed of John Dodson at UFC 191 in Vegas, the victor of the bout could be in line for a shot at gold.
The ruling seemingly came from out of nowhere. Now there’s new rules in effect and there’s guys who aren’t on steroids now, but they used to be.
Diaz lawyer has already vowed to appeal NSAC’s harsh decision, but that could take some time and there’s by no means a guarantee of a positive outcome, so as things stand the Stockton native is facing the reality that he won’t be able to fight again until he’s 36 years old. Commissioner Pat Lundvall originally wanted a lifetime ban but the commission eventually levied a five-year suspension. It’s not a performance-enhancing drug. Senator Tick Segerblom of Nevada has showcased his disappointment about the state’s verdict of the UFC fighter.
Diaz passed two of his three drug tests.
As you might expect, Diaz was unhappy with the commission’s decision, and said as much to reporters just after it was handed down. The commission didn’t give him the benefit of the doubt due likely to his past transgressions and perceived unruly attitude.
Now, one fighter is putting his words into action.
The commission also seems partial to certain fighters like when they granted Vitor Belfort a frequent TRT user and someone who has failed tests for elevated levels of testosterone.
Newly retired undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather still has thoughts and opinions he’d like to share. The UFC also has never gone against a suspension by the NAC. I am willing to do that because I am willing to show the type of person with the type of character that I am and the fact that I am very touched with by what happened to Nick Diaz.
