Diaz Will Still Fight In Cali
Cesar Gracie, Diaz manager, said that his fighter will continue to fight in the Golden State, though perhaps not as often.
“Just when he gets licensed, he probably shouldn’t smoke,” said Gracie. “That’s my advice to him. If you’re going to fight, don’t smoke. Besides that, there are a lot of states in the country. He could go fight in Japan. He could fight wherever he wants.”
Recently, the CSAC came out and said that fighters with medical marijuana licenses will not be exempt from the commissions policy on banned substances. Marijuana is still considered a drug of abuse, and can lead to fines, or suspension. The fighter says he used the drug to treat symptoms of Attention Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Gracie has made it clear that he does not advocate Diaz’s marijuana use.
