Back in 2019, Nate Diaz found himself at the center of a controversy. Reportedly Diaz was flagged by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) due to a trace amount of a banned substance. As Diaz prepared to headline the event at Madison Square Garden against Masvidal, there were concerns about his eligibility to compete. It later emerged that the positive drug test was a result of Diaz using a plant-based multivitamin during his training camp.
