Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen has been active on social media, promoting the sale of #FreeNickdiaz shirts, something he’s working with Diaz on.<\/p>\n

But he has yet to really give his take on the situation. Well he finally spoke out and talked honestly about how he feels about the NSAC’s decision to suspend Nick Diaz for five years.<\/p>\n

Sonnen told MMAJunkie<\/a> that he’s only ever received fair treatment from the NSAC, but when it comes to Diaz’s five years, he can only scratch his head.<\/p>\n

Here’s what he said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI can only tell you from my perspective. Every time I went before them, I got bad news. Every time. And every time, they were fair. I was objective enough to know I\u2019m wrong. I\u2019m powerless, and I\u2019m wrong. And they treated me fair. I never got news that I wanted, but it was fair.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI can go through the history of that commission, and fair is one word I\u2019d use to describe them. They\u2019ve always been very reasonable and understanding. But the Diaz situation, that\u2019s the head scratcher.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

SIGN NICK DIAZ’S WHITE HOUSE PETITION!<\/a><\/p>\n

MMA’S Best React To Nick Diaz 5 Year Suspension<\/strong>
