Nate Diaz smokes weed at UFC 202 scrum, much to the delight of fans

Is it 4/20 already?

“You can test me every day of the year. Piss loaded with cannabis, no steroids. You ain’t gonna catch no steroids in me for the rest of my life.” – Nate Diaz on Fox Sports.

It’s 1-1 in the series between Diaz and Conor McGregor after the Notorious was handed a majority decision (48-47, 48-47, 47-47) during their epic five-round war in UFC 202’s main event.

Diaz perfectly encapsulated the “do not give a fuck” attitude throughout the build-up to the event, as well the build up to their first encounter at UFC 196. Even during the sequel fight itself – which he still maintains he won – Diaz ate McGregor’s best haymakers, Stockton slapped him and even gave him the one-finger salute at one point.

To further hammer home the point that he couldn’t give two shits about the rules, he was even spotted using a vape pen during the post-fight media scrum. When asked what he was smoking, Nate explained it was CBD oil, a banned substance under USADA.

Although his actions may see him face some hefty punishments from Usada, Diaz appeared to gain a lot of supporters from his act of defiance.

Nate Diaz knows better than anyone that he’s playing with fire by doing this as his brother Nick was suspended by Usada for a positive marijuana test last January.

Nick Diaz was originally handed down a five-year ban from the sport, which was then reduced to 18 months and eventually cut short after a little under eight months.

Although the ban was eventually overturned, the older Diaz was still not allowed ringside for Saturday night’s fight.
