Pat Healy test positive for Marijuana...

Anyone else getting tired of this? Seriously, the dude fought his ass off. Was clearly not stoned during the fight and now they are withholding $130,000 from him because he pissed hot, nonsense, utter nonsense. Yeah, yeah he should have known better but did a joint he claimed to have smoked a month prior really give him the superhuman powers to beat Jim Miller 30 days later?! Nick pisses hot he gets a title shot. Pat pisses hot and goes bankrupt.

That's wrong. It's clearly a double standard. My question is: why even do it when it's still a banned substance?

WTF Victor? It's a natural plant that cures cancer.

Why is it a banned substance? That is the real question. (Most ppl here know the answer)

@Pat Healy - Fuck apologising.

#BoycottUFC

^^ I think it's more the athletic commision then UFC. Super sad story, Pat is a way cool down to earth guy. This is bullshit. He just gave an interview talking about how he lives a super simple life, and can make that money last for a long time...Damn.
He must have been smoking a shit ton! LOL Cause he's not dumb. He knew the drug test was coming, and I really doubt he smoked within 3 weeks of the fight.

Hopefully as more states approve it for recreational users the athletic commissions will follow suit. If not I hope someone can design a testing method that can distinguish time of introduction to the system. I can't believe that a joint smoked a month before a fight could have any effect on a fight and isn't that what testing is for to make sure no substance could effect the outcome of a fight? Beyond that just let the fighters decide the winner by themselves and have the commission honor the result.

It's not a PED at all but it's Pat Healy's job he should know better regardless of how stupid it is that it's a banned substance

Stupid. I don't even smoke weed, and I think it's the most retarded thing I have heard in a long time.

Totally fucking this guys financial life around over a naturally growing plant.

It's a banned substance in his work place. He knew better than to smoke it. It's just common sense. If your job requires drugs tests, you don't do the drugs they test for. Until the Federal Government okays it for medicinal usage, it's a no-brainer and he has no one to blame but himself.

I don't buy into that bullshit.
He should be able to toke on his own time. If you consider it a workplace, then he can keep his doobies out of the octagon.

Gotta play by the rules. He obviously knew the rules and took a big monetary loss because if it. Guaranteed he won't do that again.

I have a feeling the commission doesn't give a shit if you buy into it or not. You know you're going to get pee tested you don't smoke. Simple as that. I agree its a dumb rule but you have to play by the rules regardless if you want to fight.
Keep it out of the octagon? Shit why not roid up then cycle off properly? You wouldn't be on steroids at that point so you should be golden.

He fights for a living, does he not? It's his workplace. And accordingly, there's the "No Marijuana Rule" in effect at his work place. It's part and parcel of his employment. He knew full well what would happen if he got busted. He took a risk and he paid the price.

Yeah I understand taking his win away and making it a no-contest. But a $130,000 taken away for fighting your ass off?! Come on. He and Jim deserved that money, honestly Jim Miller seems like a level headed dude and was probably like well it's not like he came so juiced up possessing the strength of a Silverback Gorilla, it was a joint. He beat Jim due to heart and pure grit. It's bullshit that the UFC is withholding his money under this circumstances. That's where my outrage comes from. Pat Healy beat Jim Miller without the help of anything, taking a ferocious beating in the process, pay the man his dues.

One day they will make collecting rainwater illegal. Oh wait....

It's weed. Not steroids. The ONLY reason weed is a banned substance is the further propagate the false "war on drugs" which is actually huge business, reaping huge profits for the .gov and the prison industry. (And yes, it is a profiteering industry)

I understand that it's "in the rules" and he accepted to operate within the bounds of those parameters, but it is totally fucking retard nonetheless.

I don't even smoke, but there's no denying the benefits that can come of cannabis use (when done properly). I understand that the UFC has to enforce gov't prohibitions on illegal substances, but it all boils down to the fact that it shouldn't be illegal in the first place. Pat did his job. He trained hard for that fight, fought an exciting fight, and in my opinion deserved every bit of his earnings. It's a shame.

1. its more on the athletic commission but in a couple of past incidence UFC took advantage of it and let guy go.
2. its an absolutely ridiculous rule for multiple reasons
3. he still shouldn't have been smokin

Doesn't make sense. His home is his work place because hes a fighter?

Somebody start a campaign on change.org and ill sign that shit.

I know if I smoked dope, I wouldn't be allowed to do it at work. Or even on company property. Beyond that....

Brian Tate....err I mean Caraway response to getting Healys bonus -

'I couldn't be more happy, and it was an insanely pleasant surprise

All I've got to say is that's some expensive weed. I like Healy a lot. I came up through the fighting ranks with him. We used to train together at Team Quest. I love the guy. But I have absolutely zero remorse or guilt.

I hate weed. I cannot stand it. I've never tried it. I've never smoked a drug in my life. So I have absolutely zero tolerance for people that do it. I don't care if it's legal in some places or not. I think it's absolutely ridiculous. Whether it's legal in real life or not, they tell you to follow the rules. You need to follow the rules.'


not a fan of his

What a dick. Say your welcome and shut up is what I say. Some Team Alpha Male fighters need to fucking get over themselves.

I dunno if Brian Caraway is intentionally trying to be a heel to get more exposure, or is just a massive dick. All that talk about fighting Rhonda, and now blasting Healy while he's down.. Not cool..

This whole situation disgusts me.

I like how the midgets call themselves alpha male.

Just a heads up the comissions don't care, if they did bellator would have this problem all the time. most ,save cali nev and nj, only piss test if your opp request it. UFC started this trend to curb steroids, but have exploited it with weed

Master Eddie would be jobless. lol.

I just failed a drug test I gave myself.

Dude that sucks, was it a random test, or was it planned and you just didn't cleanse properly?

Chris uses the banned substance as his cleanser as well along with coconut water. There in lies the conundrum.

He pulled the old Nate Marquart, use a blend of illegal shit and over the counter products so when you go to a lie detector, you aren't technically lying, but deep down, you know.

He was formally suspended from the gym for a period two days while the gym was closed to investigate his positive testings. It turns out he deemed he sample had been tampered with when claimed to have smoked but did not inhale. The gym reopened Monday.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship has suspended Nate Diaz indefinitely for posting a controversial tweet on Thursday.



"We are very disappointed by Nate Diaz's comments, which are in no way reflective of our organization," the UFC stated in an official release. "Nate is currently suspended pending internal investigation, and we will provide further comment once the matter has been decided."

Diaz’s tweet focused on the UFC’s decision to rescind Pat Healy’s UFC 159 bonus money after the veteran lightweight tested positive for marijuana. “Bam Bam” earned both “Submission of the Night” and “Fight of the Night” honors totaling $130,000 for his third-round submission of Jim Miller on April 27.

Healy recently told Sherdog.com that his victory has been changed to a no-contest and that he has been suspended by the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board for 90 days. UFC President Dana White recently announced that bantamweight Bryan Caraway would instead receive the UFC 159 submission bonus in light of Healy’s test results.

“I feel bad for Pat Healy that they took [an] innocent man’s money, and I think the guy who took the money is the biggest fag in the world,” Diaz wrote.

Diaz becomes the second UFC fighter in as many months to be suspended for breaching the UFC’s code of conduct. Heavyweight Matt Mitrione was reprimanded in April after calling transgender fighter Fallon Fox a “lying, sick, sociopathic, disgusting freak.”

Is he mad bro?

Some pretty fucking funny comments here. Nate did pretty much nail it perfect for me, fuck caraway but Nate is representing the company and MMA as a sport does get a lot of bad press as it is without this!

Jim Miller should split his win bonus with Pat, after all it was a joint effort. (No pun intended...well, maybe a lil)

What a joke. So guys cant trash talk other fighters now. FFS. UFC are a fuucking joke. Respect to Diaz, although he could have obviously worded his opinion better). Caraway is a cock. :)

It's a fighting sport, and these guys are facing repercussions for slinging dirt at each other?
That's the gayest shit I have ever heard.
