The Nevada Athletic Commission has released the list of medical suspensions out of last weekend’s UFC 196 card, and in what is simply the most perfect and appropriate term, Nate Diaz is out of action until April 20. The 4/20 comments will be coming fast and furious for the next 45 days.
Several other fighters are out up to six months, with Ilir Latifi, Siyar Bahadurzada, Brandon Thatch, Nordine Taleb, and Marcelo Guimaraes all out until September 5 pending doctor’s clearance.
