A movement is forming.
One day after UFC fighter Henry Cejudo said he would no longer be fighting in Nevada after its treatment of Nick Diaz, Leslie Smith is jumping on the bandwagon. Smith wrote on Sqor that she won't compete in the state following the Nevada Athletic Commission hitting Diaz with a five-year suspension. In the post, Smith also mentions her support for a MMA fighters association.
Diaz, 31, was banned Monday following a third positive drug test for marijuana. He was also fined $165,000. The commission ignored the fact that Diaz had tested positive in two other tests on fight night at UFC 183 when he lost to Anderson Silva.
