Snoop Dogg is having the time of his life, and Nate Diaz is all for it. The legendary rapper is in Paris for the Olympics, is a special correspondent for NBC, and will interact with the US contingent for the network. Just a couple of days ago, he sat down with the mother of superstar gymnast Simone Biles, where she recounted how they had met on the street more than ten years ago, and Snoop had tricked them by disappearing after promising to take a picture.

Yesterday, he was seen with the US Judo team, sharpening his form and making one of the instructors taste the mat with his newly learned hip throws. Nate Diaz, seeing his fellow marijuana enthusiast practice martial arts, was delighted.

The former UFC star took to his Instagram Story, posted the clip and captioned it “lets go Snoop” followed by a series of American flags.

Snoop, of course, also had the pleasure and honor of being an official Olympic torchbearer, which he did with great verve and enthusiasm in Paris before the Games began two days ago. But this isn’t ‘The Next Episode’ singer’s first time at the rodeo. His love affair with the Olympics began during the 2021 Toko Olympics. The rapper and comedian Kevin Hart were hired by NBC to commentate the event.

Their hilarious takes on the games turned out to be a runaway success, and NBC decided to take the next step and send Snoop to the Olympics this time around. Nate Diaz, on the other hand, is not at the Olympics, and not enjoying himself at the moment despite a recent victory.

Nate Diaz launches $9 million lawsuit as Snoop Dogg enjoying himself

Nate Diaz is coming off of a victory over old foe Jorge Masvidal earlier this month. The duo ran back to their UFC 244 BMF title bout, this time in the ring, where the Stockton native redeemed himself with a unanimous decision victory.

Despite this victory, however, he is not happy. Not in the least. The Stockton native claims he has been cheated by the organizers of his rematch with Masvidal and has already launched a $9 million lawsuit against them.

The fan-favorite mixed martial artist has boxed twice since leaving the UFC two years ago, having lost a decision to Jake Paul last August. However, this does not mean that he has hung up the fingerless gloves, far from it.

Diaz has made it clear repeatedly that he wants to return to the Dana White-led promotion and try to become champion, something he has always wanted. But amid the uncertainty around his career and the legal battle he is involved in, at least Diaz found some small measure of happiness in seeing Snoop Dogg throw people around on the mat.

What are your thoughts on Nate Diaz’s reaction to Snoop Dogg?
