    This is already a conduct unbecoming a fighter.

    Can the UFC just have Brandon Vera just plant a knee in this guy's nose?

    At this point I think I'd honestly be surprised if he fights in the ufc again

    This shows he just doesn't care. If he doesn't care, then why should we.

    i know its only weed, but he is a professional athlete. he knows they test for it and if caught, get suspended. regardless weather you believe they should test for it or not, they do. so why the **** would he risk it. what a tool.

    Baseball players were getting suspended for using androstenedione in the 90's when it was legal but still a banned substance.

    Weed obviously shouldn't be deserving of a suspension, but it is a PED. Anything that can make you a healthier athlete, more relaxed, and more focused, is a PED imo. But if the UFC imposes a rule saying white shoes are banned, it's thier rules.

    I wonder what Rogan is going to say about the forced rehab. He knows it's not addictive and doesnt deserve to be lumped into the same group as dangerous drugs. That is what I'd be more interested in seeing. If Joe butts heads with Dana over this. Trust me, us cannabis advocates are pretty stubborn about subjects like this.

    The athletic commission's testing guidelines need to be changed.

    Boxing seems to be on a run as well these days. At least the UFC implements some from of a ban.

    Chavez Jr anyone.......
