I want my own card
Did they rule the fight with Clements a no contest? That was a battle. Hope Riddle gets back in the Octagon soon. Guy brings it every time, and he’s fun to watch. Would like to see him take on competition higher up in the division as well.
Put your address online? You must still be high.
Could be an older address on his ID, reason he might not care..
i need one of those card. And Matt Riddle is a fun fighter to watch.
This guy serves 90 days and Nick Diaz has to serve a year?! wtf!!
Was wandering the same thing but I don’t think Diaz has a marijuana license. Not to mention hes very open about it.
nick does in fact have a medical license.
It was Nick’s second offense in Nevada
Nick indeed has a card. The reason he got suspended for a year was because this was not his first incident testing positive, duh.
BFD – You have a medical marijuana card. This means you can smoke weed legally in your state. HOWEVER, the UFC has clearly stated time and time again that pot it is a banned substance. You knew this. You violated the policy nonetheless because you lacked discipline. Shut up, take your suspension and learn from it. If weed is more important than fighting then reconsider your profession.
Well said
Very well said, but I do believe he meant for others not to be mistaken with roids. People hear suspension, “Oh, he was on roids” automatically.
Nothing like looking higher than a mo’****a on your card though is there….
bullshit how you get banned for smoking weed which doesnt harm anybody but its ok to get jacked up with trt
niggar get high , as long people dont kill each other liked maniacs , **** 508 lets get ****ed up
From the time I watched him on tuf 7 he always looked high as ****…LOL.props to Matt though man,he had the only exciting fight at UFC 149.
Just wondering why Riddle got 90 days (with a card) and Nick Diaz got 1 year for metabolites( also with a card)?????
nice to put your address up… and this was issued in June, so the address is probably legit
FOREAL THIS IS BULLSHIT it is legal, it aint a prohobited substance cuz he has license for it its like chael and his TRT they have to put a new rule like TRT thing and make it ok if its legal in their state and they have the right 2 WTF this is definitly not a peformance enhancing drug fukin faggots
The medical cards are a joke. what medical condition does he have. you can make up an illness to get one. I guess anyone who has one should call themselves a disabled fighter.
