MMA Junkie reports that Nick Diaz was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of DUI among other charges. Diaz is slated to face Anderson Silva at UFC 183 on January 31, 2015.
According to the article, Diaz was “very polite and cordial” to the police officers. However, he did attempt to vomit after taking a breathalyzer test.
The UFC released a statement on the Diaz arrest.
“We are aware of the situation and are in the process of gathering the facts,” the statement read. “We understand that there is a legal process that will now take place and that Nick Diaz will have the opportunity to address the situation in the near future.”
Payout Perspective:
This probably was not the type of news the UFC wanted to hear especially with Diaz returning to the UFC early next year for what is likely one of the biggest for 2015. Obviously there are facts out there that are needed and we will see how Diaz pleads. In the end, Diaz’s legal troubles may be minimal as compared to those of athletes currently in the news. Still, the UFC has to decide on whether to punish Diaz for the arrest. It looks like the UFC may have to review its UFC Code of Conduct. At a time when athletes are in the news for a host of crimes, the UFC does not want to be in that police blotter.
Diaz has one fight in him if he’s lucky! Good chance he doesn’t make it till Jan! Where are wall the fuck tards? Lots of bad news, whats the matter can’t spin it?? oh wait UFC sold out in Mexico all is well bahahahahahahah

DaQueef is sucking Arum’s cock as we speak because he is a geriatric fag obsessed with Arum which is why he trolls mma websites.
Gonna be funny when Silva-Diaz outdraws nearly every boxing ppv in 2015. Haha. I’m sure Arum will send you back on your gay influenced war path spewing more of your lies and bullshit because you are nothing more than an old dirty queer.
How are you arrested on “suspicion” of DUI? Either you were drunk or you weren’t.
Diego, it has to do with the results from the blood test which doesn’t come back for a few weeks.
