Majoriteten av kollegorna är föga förvånande emot NSAC:s hårda fem års avstängning av Nick Diaz och många tog till Twitter för att vädra sina åsikter.
Som de flesta förmodligen redan vet mottog Nick Diaz (26-9) en fem år lång avstängning efter ett positivt drogtest i samband med uFC 183 i början av året. Medan Diaz testade positivt för marijuana och motståndaren Anderson Silva (33-6) för anabola steroider var det ändå amerikanen som straffades hårdast och Silva slapp undan med en ett år lång avstängning som följd av UFC:s nya riktlinjer kring bestraffning av doping och användande av droger.
Kolla in vad andra professionella fighters tycker om Diaz avstängning – är det en överraskning att en övervägande majoritet är emot det stränga straffet?
You are not making Nick Diaz an example, you are appearing as tyrants. Don’t abuse your authority. #FreeNickDiaz AND apologize. Ridiculous.

Nick Diaz suspended five years for marijuana that’s ridiculous. So that means steroid users get the death penalty correct!

I’ve been saying the industry of Mma supports steroids for years, wants the fighters on them, this is just another confirmation.
