Along the way Diaz has also fought for some of the best MMA promotions in the world, including the WEC, Pride FC, Strikeforce, and of course the UFC.

UFC welterweight contender Nick Diaz took to instagram on Tuesday night to inform his fans that ‘talks’ with the NSAC were going well. Today, the Nevada State Athletic Commission confirmed the news by releasing the following statement:

Since Nick Diaz was handed down a 5-year suspension from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, fans, fighters and celebrities have rallied in support of the Stockton fighter. A petition that was started on WhiteHouse.gov received 113,938 signatures after support from many high-profile figures including Cher, Wiz Khalifa, Gina Carano, and more.

On Wednesday the MMA community achieved something great by coming together to exceed the required goal of 100K signatures on the official White House petition for Nick Diaz. The petition had until the 16th to get to 100K but after a late rally from MMA fans we were able to smash through the goal and gain even more than the required amount. So what does that mean now? Really no one knows for sure. The standard course is for the petition to be reviewed by White House Staff, than after that an official response should be given. Will it have any real effect on Diaz’s situation? Perhaps not directly, but even Diaz’s lawyer says that achieving the 100K signatures was certainly not for nothing.

Once rivals, now friends? Maybe. Former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre has been one of the only MMA fighters to not comment on the controversial Nick Diaz five year suspension, until now.
