Back in January of this year, Anderson Silva and Nick Diaz fought. It was an important fight for ” The Spider” Silva because it was a comeback fight after his nasty injury in his last fight against Chris Weideman. He was out for over a year with his injury.<\/p>\n

In the fight before that, Anderson Silva was knocked out for the first time in his career against Chris Weidman and lost his belt.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, the fight against Diaz was extremely important in order for a rapidly aging Silva to get back into title contention.<\/p>\n

Nick Diaz always had a better mouth that he had cage skills. In January, he was in bad need of a payday. Nick Diaz is also known for being a connoisseur of marijuana.<\/p>\n

Anderson Silva we all remember easily wanted decision against Diaz but news came out soon afterwards of drug problems.<\/p>\n

Nick Diaz tested positive for marijuana. In a shocker, Anderson Silva tested positive for growth hormone.<\/p>\n

It has taken seven months for Anderson Silva’s hearing before the Nevada State Athletic Commission to take place. In the past several months we have heard conflicting stories about Silva having a positive drug test, then a negative drug test, Silva denying taking any performance enhancing drugs, Silva admitting taking drugs but it was under doctor supervision for his old leg injury, etc.<\/p>\n

The latest news report was that Anderson Silva was claiming that his positive drug test was the result of a sexual performance drug. This latest report was two days old, and I was going to write an article about it.<\/p>\n

The latebreaking news this evening is that the NSAC has met, and Anderson Silva has been suspended for one year, his win over Nick Diaz is been changed into a no contest, he has to forfeit his win bonus, and pay back the Nevada state attorney general for expenses.<\/p>\n

At this time, Anderson Silva has not commented. Due to Anderson Silva’s age and the ring rust he has accumulated, this could very well mean the end of Anderson Silva’s career.<\/p>\n

Just two years ago he was considered the best pound for pound fighter in the world and was thought to be unbeatable. It is a sad chapter in this fighter’s history.<\/p>\n
