I knew the only way Healy could beat Miller was if he was high as ****.

Well, look at the bright side. He will likely just automatically receive the Lightweight title in Nick Diaz's fight promotion now.

So Pat Healy can't get high & watch Apocalypse Now during training camp, but a Young Dinosaur can shoot testosterone & get jacked in Brazil?

Pat released a statement. 

“I would like to start off by apologizing to the UFC, Jim Miller, the MMA community, it's fans, my family, teammates and coaches for my positive testing for marijuana after my UFC 159 fight with Jim Miller. I was fully aware of the UFC and State Commissions drug policies and made poor life choices. I stand behind the UFC and the State Commission's disciplinary actions. I support efforts to make MMA and sports a clean, safe and fair place to compete. First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge and take responsibility for my mistake. I made a very poor choice to socially use marijuana and now I must face the consequences of that choice. I can assure you that I will do everything the UFC and State Commission asks of me and beyond. I will also make a conscious effort to be a better role model within the MMA community.”

Such a big win will be a no contest, and he will face some suspension time. Why cant these dudes just realize that weed is on the banned list(i know, i know), and they should not smoke it, or at least dont get caught with it in your system. When will these fighters in the UFC learn.

His suspension is only 90 days .. So I guess that is a positive in comparison to the other marijuana related suspensions.

So are they going to legalize it in MMA or are half the UFCs fights going to end up as NC's.

In my opinion, that's the worst part about this. I also feel the same way Fowlkes does.

I think it's BS that all these fights are getting changed to NCs for pot because it doesn't help you in a fight. I feel for Healy that his big win will get overturned but he shouldn't have smoked a joint a few weeks before his fight.

Having to forfeit those bonuses is what makes this really bad.  Having a little THC in his system just cost him well over 100k.  Not to mention a very legitimate submission win over Jim Miller.

I liked Ben's statement.  Punishing fighters like this for smoking weed while allowing other fighters to use steroids is ******* ridiculous.  It's actually hurting my interest in the sport now, among other things.  Something's gotta change.  At least the suspension wasn't too extreme..

I usually don't get up-in-arms about this **** ... but damn, homie. Taking away 130k from a journeyman like Healy, who finally got his shot on the big stage and came through in dramatic fashion?!?

Makes me want to see Vitor lose even more on Saturday night.

He's being classy about it at least.  It sucks though because that was a huge win and this is probably gonna set him back.  It seems a lot of guys pull the "WHAT?!  I have no idea why I popped for thc!  This is ludicrous!"

That's probably why he's only getting a 90 days suspension.

Total respect for Healy. He is the only person that has tested positive for marijuana and been a man about it.

Wow, giving back 130k, never easy, and he is so classy about it. Big ****up for Healy, I agree weed shouldn't be illegal but I agree that he should lose his win for not being smarter about his debut, it was such a beautiful upset, too bad.
