Nate Diaz Fined $20,000 And Suspended For 90 Days For Controversial Twitter Post

The UFC have released an official statement detailing the punishments that Nate Diaz has been handed for a controversial twitter post he made earlier this week in which he called fellow fighter Bryan Caraway a ‘f*g’.

“UFC lightweight Nate Diaz has received an immediate 90-day suspension and $20,000 fine for violating the UFC’s fighter code of conduct,” the statement reads. “The language used in his tweet was regrettable, offensive and inconsistent with the values and culture of the organization, and is not tolerated. The money will be donated to charity.”

However, in true Diaz fashion, he’s not followed the traditional route of issuing a cap-in-hand apology for his misdemeanor.

“#urstillasorryassbitch,”
Diaz posted this morning on Twitter.
