Nick Diaz fick tidigare 5 års avstängning av NSAC efter att åkte fast för cannabismetaboliter i en dopningskontroll för tredje gången.
Enligt hans coach Cesar Gracie har Diaz ändå lyckats hålla hakan uppe och har nu gått tillbaka till att träna brasiliansk jiu-jitsu på gymmet där han också är instruktör.
Det här berättade Gracie, via ”MMAJunkie”:
He loves training jiu-jitsu. That’s just where he came from, and he likes to train with the gi on. I see him getting back to his roots and having fun.
One good thing is, a few weeks ago, he sent me pictures of him competing in triathlons, and he hadn’t done that in a long time. That’s the old Nick that I knew, the guy that used to do triathlons, do gi training, and I think that’s where his roots are.
I think if the thing stood where he couldn’t fight any more for five years, I would definitely see him competing, because he’s a competitor. However, I think they’re going to overturn that in the courts. We’ll see what happens.
