Rejoice, ye fans of the 209, for Nick Diaz ’s exile has come to an end. Stockton’s favorite son has accepted a one-year suspension for no-showing USADA tests, which, given Diaz’s reputation for no-showing just about everything, has to be the least surprising anti-doping violation in history. (So take that, Brock Lesnar and Alistair Overeem .) But the key takeaway is that, with this behind him, Diaz is eligible to return to action in the UFC as early as next week. Let me step out on a limb here and say, yeah, it’s probably not going to be that easy. Diaz (26-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC) is not the type to get off suspension and just take any old fight.
