Summary

Breaking news into the Co-Main Event Podcast just as the show goes on the air this week, and Ben and Chad offer up some instant reaction to the Nevada State Athletic Commission handing Nick Diaz a five year ban for marijuana on Monday. Or maybe the extra-stiff punishment came because Diaz had the audacity to try to show up and actually defend himself? How’s that for some discourse? In addition to that, Bellator MMA takes front and center as its four-man, one night light heavyweight tournament goes down on Saturday. Who will win and what kind of No. 1 contender will they be for the victor of Liam McGeary’s title defense against Tito Ortiz the same night? Only time (and the CME) will tell. Your dudes also look into troubling reports about the UFC’s new drug testing partner and what that might mean for the fight company’s new in-house testing program. All that. plus Just Sayin’ Stuff, AYFKM and Master Tweet Theatre. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:38.1	We engage in some light chit-chat, some chatter, banter, some banter, you might even say.
0:44.7	Today, a little bit different.
0:45.8	We go on the air with the co-main event podcast immediately following the Nevada State Athletic Commission's ruling
0:51.6	and its decision to ban Nick Diaz from professional
0:55.8	MMA action in its state for five years for testing positive for marijuana in the wake of
1:02.8	his fight against Anderson Silva.
1:05.1	This was a sometimes contentious and extremely lengthy hearing today where I think everyone who followed
1:13.2	it in some regard is kind of in on the joke that the Nevada State Athletic Commission seemed
1:17.7	to know what it was going to do before any of this even started.
1:20.7	If anything, it seemed like by showing up with an attorney who had come to do battle and
1:26.1	who had come to voice an opinion and do what
1:29.3	appeared to be a credible job.
