Nate Diaz is a former UFC lightweight contender. He has a record of 22 wins and 13 losses in his professional career. Nate Diaz was recently making news due to a USADA drug test failure before his fight against Jorge Masvidal. There were allegations that the UFC tried to keep this incident quiet.

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.

Recently Diaz’s fellow former contender, Josh Thomson disclosed that Nate Diaz declined an offer of hush money from the UFC. Thomson remarked, “Look what they were trying to do with Nate Diaz,… they were like…we’ll get it off sort it out after”. ” And Nate said f**k you, get it sorted out now,” Thomson revealed.

As per Thomson, the UFC had attempted to offer Nate Diaz financial compensation to keep the failed drug test confidential. They were ready to let Diaz into the highly-anticipated BMF championship clash with Jorge Masvidal. Nate Diaz is now out of the UFC. He most recently made his boxing debut against Jake Paul in a 12-round professional boxing match which he lost via decision.
