Nevada Athletic Commission Suspends Nate Diaz Until 4-20

In a bit of an ironic twist, the Nevada Athletic Commission has suspended Nate Diaz until April 20.

If you know which month April is, you realize that means Diaz is medically suspended until 4-20.

Diaz, who with his brother, Nick, have made it known they use marijuana for medical purposes, defeated Conor McGregor at UFC 196 via second round submission.

The complete list of medical suspensions can be found below:

Nate Diaz: Suspended 45 days with no contact for 30 days for right eye laceration
