Matt Riddle was busted for marijuana for the second time and is now cut from the UFC

From MiddleEasy.com:

I think MiddleEasy reader @GamblingFury said it best:

That's right folks, according to a report on MMAJunkie, following his split-decision win over Che Mills, Matt Riddle has been cut from the UFC for testing positive for marijuana in his post-fight drug test after his bout in UFC on FUEL TV 7. Although Riddle is actually a licensed medical marijuana patient, his UFC career has been severed for medicating himself as advised by a medical physician. Damn.

If only marijuana was spelled 'TRT' then we wouldn't even have to write this article. Look on the bright side, at least we can finally see Kevin Randleman vs. Matt Riddle.

i don't know whats to complain about ... if you know doing marijuana can get you in trouble, you should probably stay away from it ...

Agreed.

However, how do they justify keeping someone who has been busted for PED's twice then? Could that not be viewed as condoning the PED use?

Thiago Silva got caught once for failing a urine test because it wasn't human urine. The other was for marijuana. I'm sure he is on his last chance now.

Correct..........Look at Nick Diaz for example. GREAT fighter IMO but not very stable or smart between the ears. Wonder if he woul be different if he didn't smoke marijuana all the time?

i don't think it condones it ... the way i see it, don't give any reason to dana to get yourself cut .. regardless of whether these guys are getting an advantage from the weed, they know its against the rules and they are trying to get away with it ... so if you get caught, you can't blame anyone but yourself ....

That twitter quote made me raise an eyebrow...

Looked it up and yeah technically Silva won 1 of his last 6 but he won 3 of his last 6. other two were overturned because of pot and falsified urine. Just saying....makes it look a lil different
