UFC president Dana White issued a statement regarding Nick Diaz testing positive for marijuana. "I am beyond disappointed that he tested positive for marijuana," White said in a statement released by UFC. "It is now in the hands at the Nevada State Athletic Commission."

Powell's POV: A simply and fair statement from White, as the punishment will be decided by the commission. It's a big loss for UFC, as there was a lot of buzz earlier in the week that there would be a rematch between Diaz and Carlos Condit following the controversial decision at UFC 143. However, the Diaz camp backed off quickly, which led to speculation that he may have failed a test. Thanks also to Dot Net reader Casey Gibbons for passing along the news of the Diaz suspension.
