I'm beyond pissed with the punishment Diaz received. He basically got the same treatment the Saints got from Goodell. The NSAC admitted that they couldn't prove that Nick had anything illegal in his system for the fight, yet they give him that harsh of a suspension and fine anyway? Steroid abusers, TRT users, women beaters, DUI offenders... they don't get anywhere near the severe punishment Nick got.
They only suspended him that harshly because he dared to take them to court. They know that was completely unfair.
The only bright side is if GSP/Condit happens in November, then Nick will be back in time to face the winner. I will be rooting as hard for GSP in that fight as I am Anderson in the Anderson/Chael fight, if not much more. Why? Besides still being bitter at Condit over the Diaz fight, you can say what you want about GSP, but the guy knows Diaz is the best and he wants to fight the best, like a true champion. GSP is a true champion. He can play it safe sometimes which I criticize him for (and I only do that because I know if GSP didn't play it safe, he more than has the ability to finish fights in awesome fashion), but still... he won't back down from anyone. He will demand a fight with Diaz, whereas I expect Condit to weasel his way out of it.
