Absolutely Insane. 

I actually had this whole hearing on Fight Pass while I worked in the FightCenter today. Diaz's legal team brought the heat and NAC responded with pitifully bruised egos. 

This one's certainly going to court, and we'll see what happens; hopefully we get a repeat of Brady v. NFL.

It's a state issue when they don't have any political advantage to obtain. 
It mentions medical marijauna, Diaz did not take it medically.

And that was...not interesting at all. NSAC approves settlement agreement with Nick Diaz. No details on the settlement were released.

This is the weirdest thing ever. Commission didn't tell us what the settlement is, didn't admit wrongdoing, but settlement was approved.

Unfortunately this means he won't be available for UFC 200. 

But he'll certainly be on UFC 201.

He should have just sued them.  I honestly think he made a huge mistake letting them fine him 100 thousand dollars, that ******* criminal. It also sets a standard and precedents for the commission. I think he should have fought harder to get that fine down. I understand why he did not, but I think for the long run of fighters, this agreements actually hurts them not helps them.

NSAC quickly and quietly passed this settlement. I'm sure the UFC told them that they would drop some big news (UFC 197) the same day to help bury the Diaz story.

**** yes reduced sentence, that 5 year ******** was a disgrace anyway. I wanna see Nick return against a hitter, maybe Matt Brown or someone similar to get him into a #1 contender fight after that.
