Nick Diaz is an avid triathlete, and frequently competes in triathlons to stay in shape while not in training camp. Unfortunately for Diaz, someone stole his triathlon bike that’s worth $10,000. Diaz was so furious and disgruntled by the robbery that he even considered buying a gun.

The White House has responded to the petition that over 100,000 individuals have signed their name in support of Nick Diaz. After Diaz fought Anderson Silva in January, Diaz tested positive for marijuana, making it his third offense in Las Vegas. Diaz was suspended for five years and fined $165,000 by the NAC, which fans as well as fighters thought was ridiculous, resulting in the petition.

The world of mixed martial arts could not believe their eyes on Saturday evening when they watched Ronda Rousey, one of the most dominant athletes to ever step foot in the octagon, suffer her first loss by way of a brutal knockout. Bookies tried to label Holm as one of the biggest underdogs in a championship match in recent memory and she made them pay for it! Rousey has seen a great deal of success while standing in the octagon and in training, so she chose to try and beat Holm at her own game. While Rousey did try to take the fight to the ground a couple of times for her bread-and-butter armbar, there is no doubt that Rousey did tried to rush a world-class striker while Holm forced the fight to stay standing by keeping her distance. It didn’t take long to see Holm’s striking was on a different level and it took all of two rounds for her to prove her superiority that night. She walked out of the octagon with the gold strapped around her waist and fighters were blowing up their social media accounts.

Recently, when the NSAC handed Nick Diaz a 5-year suspension for a failed drug test for marijuana, the MMA community was outraged. The outrage spread, and suddenly many high-profile celebrities began backing Diaz and crying foul. A White House petition was started that earned the 100,000 required signatures thanks to the help of Cher, Wiz Khalifa, Gina Carano, and many others. Last week it was revealed that Diaz’s legal team was in settlement talks with the NSAC.

On Wednesday the MMA community achieved something great by coming together to exceed the required goal of 100K signatures on the official White House petition for Nick Diaz. The petition had until the 16th to get to 100K but after a late rally from MMA fans we were able to smash through the goal and gain even more than the required amount. So what does that mean now? Really no one knows for sure. The standard course is for the petition to be reviewed by White House Staff, than after that an official response should be given. Will it have any real effect on Diaz’s situation? Perhaps not directly, but even Diaz’s lawyer says that achieving the 100K signatures was certainly not for nothing.
