A great story of Strikeforce import Pat Healy beating perennial UFC top-contender Jim Miller (whilst nabbing two fight bonuses for both ‘Fight of the Night’ and ‘Submission of the Night’) became an unfortunate one as Healy failed his post-fight drug test for marijuana.<\/p>\n

The dual bonuses added up to $130,000 and were both stripped from Healy upon news of the failed test.<\/p>\n

Recently, Healy spoke with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour<\/a>\u00a0about his failed test.<\/p>\n

In the interview, Healy explains his decision and gives details on the situation:<\/p>\n

“I felt like it was going to come out regardless. If they weren’t going to announce what it was for, it was going to come out that I had failed a drug test for an unknown substance. I’d rather be honest about the whole situation than let a bunch of false information or wrong information get out there and make me look even worse.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Healy also told Helwani how far out from the event he smoked:<\/p>\n

“It was about three and a half or four weeks out. It was at a friend’s birthday party, just hanging out. To be honest, I didn’t even think it would be an issue. It was a huge mistake and I wish I could go back in time and slap myself because it was just a dumb thing to do.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The ‘Submission of the Night’ bonus was given to Bryan Caraway, much to the dismay of UFC lightweight Nate Diaz who came out with criticism<\/a> of Caraway, which got him suspended<\/a> for 90-days.<\/p>\n

Here, Healy apologizes for any trouble he had caused for either fighter:<\/p>\n

“I feel bad that my poor choices brought more trouble for anybody, Caraway and Nate.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Healy now faces a 90-day suspension for the failed test. The suspension is retro-active and has an official start date of when the test was administered.<\/p>\n
