Recently, when the NSAC handed Nick Diaz a 5-year suspension for a failed drug test for marijuana, the MMA community was outraged. The outrage spread, and suddenly many high-profile celebrities began backing Diaz and crying foul. A White House petition was started that earned the 100,000 required signatures thanks to the help of Cher, Wiz Khalifa, Gina Carano, and many others. Last week it was revealed that Diaz’s legal team was in settlement talks with the NSAC.

On Wednesday the MMA community achieved something great by coming together to exceed the required goal of 100K signatures on the official White House petition for Nick Diaz. The petition had until the 16th to get to 100K but after a late rally from MMA fans we were able to smash through the goal and gain even more than the required amount. So what does that mean now? Really no one knows for sure. The standard course is for the petition to be reviewed by White House Staff, than after that an official response should be given. Will it have any real effect on Diaz’s situation? Perhaps not directly, but even Diaz’s lawyer says that achieving the 100K signatures was certainly not for nothing.
