let’s just say.. that.. we all know Diaz would beat Noons if he was performing like he did in the Gomi fight, or in the Inoue fight.. but.. those fights with Aina and Noons were different.. he said that he was sick for the Aina fight.. because he flew all the way to Hawaii the day of the fight.. And obviously he performed the same way in the Noons fight.. although, i would assume that was Mary Jane related.. but judging from his last performance, at DREAM, i would say he will dominate this weekend..

I choose not to use marijuana. That’s what it should be - a choice. It’s a fucking weed for crissakes. The hysterical, paternalistic streak in this country is depressing.

@#24: You can tack Washington, Oregon, and several other states, towns, and counties to that list, across the country. Your attempt to use Oxycontin as an example means you either have no experience with the two and don’t understand that wild difference in addictiveness between weed and Oxycontin (as well as strength of the drug and potential for overdose, go visit NIDA if you don’t believe me). If you could OD on weed I guarantee you it wouldn’t be being slowly legalized around the country.

Did you know there are over 300,000 medical marijuana patients in the US already?

#12 Nobody cares that you don’t want to meet the fighter. I’m sure he doesn’t care to meet a you either.

#24 We don’t need to recognize anything, half the people on this forum you are preaching too probably smoke jane. You probably smoke it. Also this isn’t a mary jane forum. You guys aren’t researchers or politicians or police so get over it. Your opinion on the subject does not matter. Diaz makes exciting fights, he does not duck opponents, and he’s fought some top competition. The guy gets my respect and after Edwards beats Noons then Diaz can challenge Edwards. My moneys on Thugjitsu.

We also need to recognize that while so-called “medical marijuana” is indeed a treatment for glaucoma, cancer, and exteme pain, it reduces testosterone as well. This is something that an MMA fighter should be avoiding.

The problem with states like California is that they are literally prescribing Marijuana for problems that it should not be prescribed for. What we are seeing is defacto legalization of marijuana. What would happen if Oxycontin was prescribed for a condition of “feeling down”? The Dr. who did so would likely lose his license to practice. What if “Oxycontin clubs” began to form around California? The state would shut them down pronto and arrest the proprietors.

Marijuana is treated like illegal immigration in California, just something that the brave new world must accept as normal and beneficial, which is hardly the case…

i think if his corner hadnt thrown in the towel he would have dropped him, ending in KO or TKO, probably before the first round even finished, but who knows, maybe dude would have staggered around taking punches for another 9 minutes. or come back with a flash KO!

True, but he was hardly a name opponent, and I was shocked he wasn’t able to put him away.

@#20 I assume you must mean his last two EliteXC performances. His last fight he absolutely tore apart Katsuya Inoue at Dream 3, it was complete domination.

I’m the world’s biggest Nick Diaz nuthugger, but I admit his past two performances have been extremely shaky. Noons was straight whipping his ass. I disagreed with the doctor stoppage, but there weren’t many indications he was going to turn it around. That being said, Nick and Nate have both shown they can take punishment and then pull victory out right at the edge of defeat. I would have liked to have seen Nick at least given that chance.
