i just took a huge gravity and decided to check out mma.tv b4 i hit the hay.....i can't believe this
i feel nick is fucking his career up a bit with this AND i think it's awesome at the same time
MickColins - So, a Doctor's note makes TRT okay but a perscription for Pot isn't okay?
THIS
'No matter how much you need weed if you are high you are not going to get your fight sanctioned because it is unsafe to fight high.
If your testosterone levels are raised to normal levels that doesn't not make the fight unsafe for the competitors. You have two fighters facing off with normal functioning abilities. Not one guy in a normal state of mind and the other high."
You are assuming the fighter on TRT is on TRT because of need and not because he wants an advantage. There is no physical advantage to pot.

NOT THIS.
i dont smoke weed, ive taken Test like 10x, ill tell u 1 thing TEST FUCKS YOUR BRAIN way worse than weed does, are you fuckin retarded???? i thought i could walk on water on that shit.
BOTH are illegal for a reason, but its a shame when nick gets suspended for a year for smoking some weed and chael doesnt get SHIT for TRT.
BS.
We aren't talking about test abuse. We are talking about a fighter having normal levels through replacement therapy.

I agree, there is a physical disadvantage. That's why they shouldn't allow weed. You can't allow it and have guys blazed out there fighting killers.
Diaz can get away with it but other guys won't.
If a guy is using TRT within the rules he will be entering the cage in a normal state of mind. I'm not talking about excess use or cheating.
"We aren't talking about test abuse."
Funny how these professional athletes in their primes need TRT. I'm sure its completely medical and in no way is to enhance their abilities.
"You can't allow it and have guys blazed out there fighting killers."
Do you honestly think Diaz would go out there after smoking up? He could have done it days earlier and it had no effect on him before the fight but was still in his system. Some of y'all sound like you have had no experience with anything outside tylenol.
It could have been worse... If Diaz got the Win he would have also ruined GSP's return fight.

He was pretty high in the Gomi fight. He also got pretty hurt in that.
I'm saying that if you don't test for weed guys will go out there high.
Weed isn't a performance enhancer.
Fighting without a cup isn't a performance enhancer either. But they can't sanction a fight without them for fighter safety.
They will never allow a fight to be sanctioned where a fighter is allowed to fight high, or drunk or in any other altered state.
Hopefully he uses the year to improve his skills and come back even more of a beast.
In a way I think he's such a dumbass as he knows he'll get tested for it.
But WTF do they even test for THAT? As it's been said again and again, pot ain't no PED! Stupid rule is stupid. But he knew he'd get tested for it so he's dumb as bricks.
i dont think people understand that this doesnt do anything to nick diaz. his name will grow even more for this, and admittedly lorenzo and dana will bring him back because we the fans want to see it. he is a made man, because he is the realist motherfucker we have and we will pay to see him fight. nick diaz is going to get so much mainstream media from these new fox guys he will probably get paid more for this.
bottom line he is a genius
Doesn't he have a medical marijuana license? That should count for something right?
EVERYthing about pot is surrounded with dumb and dumber things. That it's illegal and so many people in jail because of it is dumb. That potheads celebrate it with pride is dumb. That ACs test for it is dumb. That fighters knowing they'll get tested still use it is dumb.
It really is bad for the brain cells, no doubt. Hell my post is dumb.

This is probably true. Imagine if his comeback fight or second fight back is against GSP.
It will be huge.

Even if it was legal they wouldn't allow fighters to use it. The same as alcohol. It's too dangerous to fight in a compromised state of mind. Even though you could fight if used in moderation, as with alcohol, someone would take it too far.
I agree it should be legal generally though. I just don't want to see a super high dude stumbling around the ring getting beat up because he had a few too many puffs.

Pre-fight field sobriety tests?
I dont know if he smokes right before he goes out to fight, he might smoke a few days/weeks out...and by the time the fight comes he's not feeling anything, marijuana high doesn't last 14+ days ;)
