On Wednesday, the UFC bantamweight learned yet be receiving a $65, 000 "Submission for the Night" bonus for your partner's victory over Johnny Bedford at UFC 159. The bonus was originally awarded to help lightweight Pat Healy, but after the former Strikeforce title competitor tested positive for bud in his post-fight drug test, "Bam Bam" was suspended for ninety days and stripped of their additional earnings.
Therefore, the UFC passed the fight night bonus be sure that to Caraway, who had the sole other submission victory on the card. The sudden turn from luck was undoubtedly a bright spot to your 28-year-old, but the wonderful vibes wouldn't last longer.
The Washington native chatted to MMA Junkie around receiving the bonus funds. This is where items went south. Rather than keeping the give attention to the bonus, Caraway veered off into a diatribe on his disapproval for marijuana and also the people who use the drug.
"Kid Lightning's" comments relating to the topic immediately ruffled feathers over the MMA community, causing one fighter especially (Nate Diaz), to lash out which has a response of his very own.
While Diaz's remarks established an uproar and evoked a suspension through the UFC, Caraway also took to Twitter to advance explain his stance on the drug issue.
From their post on Twitter, seems like Caraway has some personal experience along with the negative effects of meds use. While this experience is old, it was obviously a factor that has impacted his life and those close to him.
That being said, we very much are now living a "to each their own" world right now. There is certainly not a thing wrong with Caraway personally disapproving with the drug or its usage, but as soon because you start pointing fingers and using labels to go into detail the people who thought we would do a certain item, then you are using a judgmental position.
Whether Caraway was trying to get across a larger principles isn't quite clear. But in the reaction his comments captivated on Twitter, it is clear that his opinion on the matter wasn't well acquired.
