Cannabis in MMA is a widely spread and often tolerated narcotic.<\/p>\n

It’s illegal in the United States to use and\/or possess the substance, but in some outlining States they tolerate marijuana for recreational and\/or medical use.<\/p>\n

For most athletes, staying clean and all-natural in your diet is crucial to being able to deliver a peak performance.<\/p>\n

Yancy Mederios is no different.<\/p>\n

Which is why the Team Cesar Gracie fighter doesn’t think MMA’s governing bodies should penalize the athletes for ‘toking’ on the green.<\/p>\n

His words via Bloodyelbow.com’s Trent Reinsmith<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“I think it’s a big hindrance towards a lot of people – towards a lot of athletes and fighters because a lot of them, like for me, I don’t take any pharmaceutical drugs. Everything that I consume is all natural, all organic. It’s tough now, I don’t even take ibuprofen for headaches, so it’s rough. So, if it would change it would be great, but for now, it is what it is.”
\n<\/em>
\nWhen asked if his fighting team tries to influence his sobriety, the Hawaiin born fighter responded with,<\/p>\n

“[Nick and Nate Diaz are] my brothers, they don’t instill any negativity on me, and they respect my decisions, and my choices and they’re there for me as a family and at the gym.”
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Yancy’s decision to go clean is a result of his failed drug test last November that turned his first UFC win over Yves Edwards into a no-contest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
