Dana White say’s Nate Diaz will be “either fined and suspended or cut” for homophobic slur

Yesterday UFC President Dana White announced that Pat Healy would lose his $130,000 in bonuses due to failed post-fight drug tests. Today Nate Diaz took to Twitter to make it clear how he felt about the situation.

Healy defeated Jim Miller on the main card of UFC 159. The victory nabbed him two bonuses for “Submission of the Night” and “Fight of the Night” which earned him $65,000 each.

Due to the positive marijuana test, UFC President announced that Bryan Caraway would get the “Submission of the Night” honors for his guillotine choke against former TUF contestant Johny Bedford.

White has been harsh on other UFC fighters who have taken to Twitter in a derogatory manner and he told MMAJunkie.com’s John Morgan that Diaz’s situation would be no different.

The UFC and White have yet to comment personally on the situation. Keep it locked to MMASucka.com for more on the Diaz situation as it arises.
