Morning Report: Joe Rogan calls Nick Diaz's five-year suspension a 'callous, idiotic and sickening' abuse of power

It's no secret that UFC commentator Joe Rogan has been known to dabble in the ganja on occasion.

That's fine, you just can't bring it into the Octagon with you.

Standing before the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) on Monday, Nick Diaz was handed an unprecedented five-year suspension and fined $150,000 stemming from a failed post-fight drug test on Jan. 31 at UFC 183 at the MGM Grand.

In the test sample in question, Diaz's result showed marijuana metabolites amounting to 300 ng/ml, double the 150 allowable limit of the NAC.
