There's a thinning of opportunities for those that find themselves blowing smoke on the UFC, but once the fans "want" to see you, you've still got options.  Suspension over a drug test coming in a bit stout over presumed PED's or even a no-excuses "Damn RIGHT I smoke!" cause for the presence of THC?  Yes, even then.  Just like Sonnen came back sooner than Marquardt, Nick Diaz will be back much sooner than the last guy that pulled that pot smoking thing.  Wait.  That was him too.  Yeah.  But nobody really cared to see him then.  Not like they want to see him get his assets handed to him by GSP now (which would happen).  I'm not saying "nobody wanted to see Marquardt".., but Nate certainly isn't a tenth of the spectacle Sonnen is.  There's also no claim herein, that the UFC favors one fighter over another (for ANY reason).  ...
