While the final details of Nate Diaz-Jake Paul’s fight have been chalked out, the fight recently hit a cloud of uncertainty.

The atrocious demand has already added a supporter in UFC bantamweight star Sean O’Malley. Diaz, a staunch marijuana advocate and user, got his request for marijuana exemption shot down in a Texas ruling.
