UFC lightweight Nate Diaz is not happy at all with Pat Healy losing his bonus money after testing positive for marijuana, and he is incredibly displeased with Bryan Caraway for "accepting" his unexpected Submission of the Night award.
Nate Diaz went to twitter to express his frustrations over fellow UFC lightweight Pat Healy losing his UFC 159 FOTN and SOTN bonuses after testing positive for marijuana. Bryan Caraway, who fought Johnny Bedford earlier in the night, received the SOTN money instead. Diaz voiced his opinion in typical Diaz brother fashion:
Nathan Diaz
I feel bad for pat Healy that they took a innocent mans money and I think the guy who took the money is the biggest *** in the world ..
Diaz originally said "the opponent who took it is the biggest *** I've ever heard of" before deleting the tweet. He then amended and reposted the tweet you see in the article, effectively clarifying that it is indeed Caraway who is the "biggest *** in the world". At a guess, he's not referring to Caraway as a British term for cigarette.
Yeah that's another thing, I would rather know up front what people are really like instead of hiding it all under political correctness, bill o reilly could be in lovely with nazi propaganda for all we know.Sometimes (every time) I think political correctness is a means for racist, homophobic and sexist people to censor themselves. Obviously they must think everybody else uses words in the same hateful manner. Most of the time a word is just a word.

A day after handing Nate Diaz an indefinite suspension pending an investigation, the UFC has come up with its terms for the recent lightweight title challenger.
Diaz (16-9 MMA, 11-7 UFC) has been suspended for 90 days and fined $20,000 by the UFC for violating the company's fighter code of conduct. The UFC, in a statement released Friday, said the $20,000 fine will be donated to charity.
"The language used in his tweet was regrettable, offensive and inconsistent with the values and culture of the organization, and is not tolerated," the statement read.
Diaz on Thursday took to his Twitter account in response to the news that Pat Healy had tested positive for marijuana and been suspended – and that the $130,000 in bonus money he got after his UFC 159 win over Jim Miller this past month would be lost.
But the crux of Diaz's offense was when he called UFC bantamweight Bryan Caraway a derogatory term of homosexuals. With Healy losing his $65,000 "Submission of the Night" bonus from UFC 159, Caraway, the only other fighter with a submission on that card, received it instead.
"I feel bad for pat Healy that they took a innocent mans money and I think the guy who took the money is the biggest F-g in the world," Diaz wrote on Twitter. Though the tweet remained up for a while, it since has been removed from Diaz's timeline.
Not long after Diaz's tweet on Thursday, UFC President Dana White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) the fighter would be fined and suspended – or possibly released from the promotion. Later Thursday night, UFC officials issued a statement that said the company had suspended Diaz pending an investigation, and then
“We are very disappointed by Nate Diaz’s comments, which are in no way reflective of our organization," the Thursday statement read. "Nate is currently suspended pending internal investigation, and we will provide further comment once the matter has been decided.”
And that matter now will be the 90-day suspension, effective immediately, and the $20,000 fine. That should make Diaz eligible to fight again on Aug. 15, two days prior to its first event on the new FOX Sports 1 cable network.
Diaz this past month at UFC on FOX 7 was knocked out for the first time in his career when Josh Thomson upset him in San Jose, Calif. That loss came on the heels of a lightweight title fight setback to champion Benson Henderson at UFC on FOX 5 in December.
Diaz's suspension is just the latest for a UFC fighter involving potential offensive language on social media or in the media in general. In 2011, the UFC released bantamweight Miguel Torres for tweeting a joke making light of ****, though it later reinstated the fighter after he apologized. And earlier this year, the UFC suspended and fined heavyweight Matt Mitrione for comments he made about transgender fighter Fallon Fox. White didn't reveal the amount of the fine, and Mitrione's suspension lasted about three weeks.
Diaz has not yet commented publicly about the suspension, fine or the tweet itself.
... and considerably more amusing. :laugh:He ought to have used 'fanny bandit'. It comes across as less offensive/hostile.
That was just a joke I wrote about you referring to ppl calling him a criminal. No biggy. As I said before, I don't think he is.What is your point with the picture though? So smoking marijuana legally is a crime or a misbehavior? Hmm...
Not by me...Jon Jones has a longer/worse list of misbehaviors, yet he is looked upon as a great champ.
Like the way he brings the fight. Like his well-roundedness. Like the fact that he and his brother treat it as a fight still instead of a contest. Like the candid replies to questions. Like and respect that they are willing to put money and opportunities on the line in order to be who they are.That was just a joke I wrote about you referring to ppl calling him a criminal. No biggy. As I said before, I don't think he is.
I can't approve his conduct because for me this is a sport and I believe he doesn't really knows the meaning of sportsmanship. That's all. What do you like about this guy anyway?
Not by me...
I hate his disrespectful taunting, but he is a good fighter, I reckon.Like the way he brings the fight.
I respect that.Like his well-roundedness.
Fundamental source of their utter unprofessionalism and point we'll never agree about.Like the fact that he and his brother treat it as a fight still instead of a contest.
I frankly don't think he understands or care about most questions he is asked.Like the candid replies to questions.
I don't think they care about money the way most people do and I can't say this would be any demerit anyway.Like and respect that they are willing to put money and opportunities on the line in order to be who they are.
His disrespectiful attitude, flipping birds to his opponents at any occasion, including live events, tell me how imature and unprofessional he is. I can't respect an athlete who disrespect their co-workers just for the sake of it, meaning, even with no previous bad blood. This belongs to street fights and even there, some respect must exist.I was just wondering, because many rag on Nate, yet for few reasons. Dana in the past (I think after Nick had his deal) said he has never had a problem with Nate.
