Did Nate Diaz Nearly Light Up a Blunt on National TV?
By Bobby Burack
Anyone remember Nate Diaz? The UFC fighter that shockingly beat Conor McGregor, then had a rematch with McGregor that was this generation’s Ali-Frazier?
Well, he has not fought since his last loss to McGregor – August 20, 2016 – but did find a way to get back into the spotlight last night at UFC Fight Night 126: Austin.
When the cameras cut to Diaz in the crowd, they were quickly removed as he began to light something up that many are speculating was a joint:

Of course, the folks on Twitter were fans of this second:

Lol, Lewis tells Jimmy Smith, "I know you're new, coming over from Bellator, but that's how I fight." This is immediately followed by a Nate Diaz showing, holding a blunt in his mouth and a lighter in his hand.
