Rousey unloads: 'No reason' to test for marijuana

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey gave the Nevada State Athletic Commission a verbal lashing at today’s UFC 193 press conference in Melbourne following its five-year suspension of fellow fighter Nick Diaz.

Diaz (27-9 MMA, 7-7 UFC) was suspended five years and fined $165,000 on Monday for a positive marijuana test stemming from his January bout with Anderson Silva at UFC 183.

The 32-year-old had tested positive for the banned substance twice in the past, and his third offense was met with one of the harshest punishments handed out by the NSAC.
