Matt Riddle: The UFC hates people who Smoke Weed!!!

[Warchief1000]

"It does bother me, for some reason the UFC hates people who smoke weed. The whole MMA industry for some reason hates people that smoke marijuana. I don't know why, I keep to myself for the most part. I smoke weed and I fight. Usually, I put on exciting fights or I dominate people. I always go out there and fight. It's stupid that I got fired over a plant, but other people think it's stupid that I just won't stop smoking. I quit three weeks before my fight and this is what works for me. If you were me or lived with me you'd understand. I knew it might come up one day and I thought about going to talk to a lawyer, but for now I'm just trying to figure out my next step. I'm not too worried, but at the same time I just can't sleep on it. The only good thing is the athletic commission didn't suspend me because it was a UFC administered drug test. They can't suspend me so I can fight tomorrow, but I'd fail a drug test tomorrow though so I'll wait a month or so!"

Obviously not, if you failed a test twice.

he needs to stop at least a month before he fights, i don't even smoke weed and know this.

Matt Riddle has come a long way since TUF. In a way, it's admirable. Who really thought he would have gotten this far?

You'd lose a lot of jobs for failing a drugs test, if you want your job you have to make sacrifices, if you're not willing to do that it's goodbye.

 

[thelegend2]

i think they hate people who fail drug tests actually.

dana white doesn't like to mess with the ac.

 

[lapollarecords]

you are a professional fighter and you know you'll be tested. you also know it is illegal and that you'll be suspended if caught with it. your fault.

 

[thiagoop]

That is obviously not true because a lot of UFC known faces smoke weed.

Ffs weed will be legal soon anyway. Its only a matter of time.

Why cant people realise that smoking some weed at home and watching a Spartacus marathon and ordering a pizza is much better than going out getting drunk, getting into a fight or causing some sort of shit!

this. i can understand him being pissed about how they test for weed (urine not blood), i can understand him hating the UFC for cutting him, but to claim what you are doing is working when you have failed twice in three fights is ridiculous.

Did he sign contract where he said he wont use any banned drugs? If he did then he should shut up.

 

[Lyotoofthedance]

He's like an embarrassing dad trying to be cool.

you may be right, but that's not the point in regards to professional fighters. they know exactly what they can and can't take. so if they fail it just shows how stupid they are.

it really is that simple

it's not the ufc, it's the athletic commissions that need to remove marijuana from their list of banned substances (or at least for those fighters who have a valid medical marijuana card).
