the first time they fought Henderson did give him fits...even though Silva went on and dominated him in the second round...but the Axe Murderer hasn't really had his killer instinct his past couple of defenses plus in Nevada he isn't allowed to use his deadly stomps like they do in Japan...

the more I think about it the more I come to believe that this fight might have been setup for him to lose...I mean it takes place in America...against an American with their star...Pride is on wobbly knees in the MMA world...let Henderson win in his home country...become a dual champion (Henderson has the belt of the division below Silva's)...this sets up a nice rematch in Japan...it has happen in MMA countless times...

oh yeah...BIG UP to my boy Nick Diaz...I was hopin' he would take Gomi but with a submission...woohoo...hopefully I can catch this match on YouTube...

Diaz Tests Positive for Marijuana

Nick Diaz has tested positive for marijuana following his stunning submission win over Takanori Gomi on Feb. 24, Sherdog.com learned Monday afternoon.

According to Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer, Diaz is the only mixed martial artist tested on the PRIDE 33 card to return a positive result for a banned substance.

The 23-year-old welterweight from Stockton, Calif. declined to comment on the news. Diaz' manager, Cesar Gracie, offered his support to Diaz while saying he does not condone the use of marijuana.

Diaz captured his PRIDE debut versus Gomi, the Japanese organization's 161-pound champion, in spectacular fashion. Afterwards, it was learned that Diaz had suffered a fractured orbital bone and was medically suspended up to six months. While the NSAC has discretion, suspensions for the use of marijuana have been for a similar period of time.
