Ronda Rousey has some strong opinions regarding the punishment the Nevada Athletic Commission levied against Nick Diaz earlier this week.

Diaz was suspended five years and fined $165,000 for testing positive for marijuana following his loss to Anderson Silva at UFC 183 on Jan. 31. The UFC welterweight failed just one of the three drug tests administered during a five-hour period on the night of the event. The two negative results came from the Sports Medicine and Research Testing Laboratory, a World Anti-Doping Agency accredited lab, while the positive test came from Quest Diagnostics, which is not WADA accredited.
