the White House petition<\/a>, which currently (at the time of writing this) has 57,108 signatures. It needs 100,000 before Oct. 14.<\/p>\nThen there’s fighters who have stepped up and spoken out in support of Diaz, even a few deciding to refuse a fight in Nevada because of the matter. Former UFC fighter and the ‘OG’ himself, Chael Sonnen, went as far as creating and selling special #FreeNickDiaz shirts.<\/p>\n
Well, Diaz recently took to Twitter to say thank you to Sonnen and the fans for buying the shirt, but also mentioned that he really doesn’t want anyone putting them on kids, obviously because of what they say, ‘Don’t Be A B*tch Homie.’<\/p>\n
So you heard the guy, keep it classy out there!<\/p>\n
