Nate Diaz is an MMA veteran and is one of the most popular fighters in the world. Diaz has been a part of the UFC for a long time but is at the tail end of his contract with just one fight left.

The younger Diaz brother is looking to fight out his entire contract, and it doesn’t seem like he will resign. Throughout his career, Diaz has had some issues with the USADA.

The USADA is responsible for keeping the sport fair, but sometimes things can become ugly.

Nate Diaz no longer cares about USADA

Diaz never had an easy time dealing with the anti-doping organization. In 2019, USADA found trace amounts of a banned substance in Nate’s samples, which could have churned out a possible ban, but it was later on overturned.

Ever since then, it seems like Stockton’s very own fighter has lost his faith in the system. In a recent tweet, the 36-year-old fighter called out USADA once again, daring them to catch him.

UFC and USADA make key policy changes to benefit fighters

The UFC and USADA resolved the issue regarding the use of marijuana in 2021. According to a report by MMA fighting, this major policy change has been introduced to help ease things for both fighters and the promotion. UFC executive Jeff Novitzky shed light on the matter, and why the promotion pushed for making changes in the policy.

“It’s really, as with everything we do with this program, it’s science-based.” He also shed light on how the policy was unfair to the fighters, as trace amounts really don’t offer any advantages.

“Especially in the pandemic era, we’ve had all these issues with fighters and taking fights last minute and then ending up with positive in-competition marijuana results and we always follow up on these — ‘when did you use?’ It always was the case that the use was days if not weeks out from the fight.”

“I’ve always been interested in this and pushing for some of these changes but it definitely accelerated our look into it. I think the main thing that guided this decision was a report the Department of Transportation put together for Congress a few years back.”
