Nate Diaz Sparked Up A Joint During UFC 263 Press Conference

Nate Diaz is so back.

After the UFC veteran has not made his way into the Octagon since a 2019 loss to Jorge Masvidal, he will make his return this weekend when he fights Leon Edwards at UFC 263.

Of course, Nate Diaz is calling out all of his haters prior to the fight.

During the UFC 263 press conference, Nate Diaz started trending after lighting up a joint in the middle of the presser. He even offered a hit to the other fighters around him.

Sure enough, sources confirmed that it was weed that Nate Diaz was smoking. Because the fight presser took place in Arizona, the rules allow for Diaz to smoke weed in the days leading up to his fight.

Nate Diaz (@NateDiaz209) was smoking marijuana on stage not CBD, his team tells me. Its his own brand, Kill_4209. Rules in Arizona allow him to smoke closer up to the fight than other states.

Great working with AZ Commission, who are adopting our testing program/rules for this weekend. Only issue with marijuana (THC) for Saturday’s fights is don’t show up impaired or under the influence. How it should be!

Nate Diaz truly gives no fucks. He might be a heavy underdog to beat Leon Edwards on Saturday, but he’s going to be doing it his way.

You gotta love the guy.
