Interesting part of the article is his lawyer saying "how difficult it will be to get a REAL value on the marijuana." Every bust and you have an immediate value in the article, but a lawsuit between two people and suddenly it is very tough to figure out what that darn stuff is worth.

Report: Lindland sued over marijuana plants

The Law faces a lawsuit over marijuana plants, according to a Oregon newspaper.

An Oregon man filed suit last Thursday over the loss of marijuana plants that he says were grown on the property of middleweight Matt "The Law" Lindland with the fighter's permission, Williamette Week reports. The plaintiff, Gonzalo Aldana Gamboa, wants more than $122,000 from Lindland.
Gamboa was growing the marijuana under the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program, according to the court documents cited by the newspaper:

According to the lawsuit, Gamboa registered the grow site with the state of Oregon and harvested six mature plants last October. Lindland helped load the plants into a U-Haul truck and told Gamboa he was moving them to his shed to dry, the lawsuit says. But when Gamboa returned a month later, Lindland would not allow him to collect his harvest, the lawsuit says.

The plaintiff values the marijuana at $122,880, although his lawyer says estimating the plants' real worth "may be a little bit of a long shot legally."

An Olympic silver medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling, Lindland was a top-10 middleweight in MMA for several years at the start of the 2000s. But the 40-year-old has lost three of his last four bouts, and four of his last six.

He ran for Oregon state representative in 2008 as a Republican, but lost in the general election.

uuuuuh where is this guy getting his numbers, even at (positively thinking)4000 a lbs. and a pound per plant its still around 24000, how many pounds were on these trees?

I bet the difference comes in from payment for equipment and supplies. A 6000 watt indoor grow can cost more than $50,000 to set up properly. Just a guess. Either that, or someone's trying to charge for the rootball.

The extra $100,000 is for his so called "pain and suffering"

Maybe he is paying himself for the time he took to grow them? If so, I wonder what he was making an hour! Hope he gets his stuff back and some $
