I just want to see how these genius pothead fighters react when they finally have their union and realize smoking dope will still be illegal.

Once again 3 fighters sign a contract and agree to follow the terms set forth in that contract and you morons want to let them breach the contract because its just weed.

The only problem I have with the rules in Texas is that there is no lower limit on how much can be in the system. If you made the mistake of going to a reggae show in a small venue and the crowd started blazing up you could potentially fail the test in Texas. Otherwise, you signed the contract to fight in a state and that means you have to play by their rules. So a 90 suspension and a $1,000 fine isn't a big deal. The no-contest for weed is crazy though.

"Three UFC fighters have failed drug tests and have been sanctioned in the state of Texas. But not with USADA.

Niko Price, Curtis Blaydes and Abel Trujillo all tested positive for marijuana in in-competition drug tests in relation to UFC Fight Night 104 in Houston, sources told MMA Fighting on Friday. All three have been suspended 90 days and fined $1,000 by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), sources said.

Victories by Price and Blaydes have been overturned to no contests, per the official MMA database on mixedmartialarts.com. Price originally defeated Alex Morono by second-round knockout and Blaydes beat Milstead originally by second-round TKO. Price’s no contest was first reported by mikethetruth.com."

FUCK Texas and their desperate backwards ass athletic commission. Texas doesn't have a minimum threshold for THC levels so they may very well be suspending fighters for smoking weed a month before the fight.
