Video: Take a look at how Nick and Nate Diaz spent 2020 quarantine
Nate Diaz hasn’t been in the public eye much in 2020, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t stay sharp throughout the year.
In a video recently released on Diaz’s YouTube channel highlighting what quarantine has been like, the former UFC lightweight title challenger is seen weightlifting, sprinting, watching fight tape, sitting in an ice bath, and hitting pads. Non-training activities feature off-road dune buggy-riding, skateboarding, and – you guessed it – smoking weed.
The video focuses mostly on Nate, but brother Nick Diaz, is featured plenty, as well.
Nate, 35, most recently fought at UFC 244 in November 2019 when he lost to Jorge Masvidal in the promotion’s lone “BMF” title fight. which was stopped in between the third and fourth rounds after Diaz suffered a facial laceration.
UFC president Dana White briefly linked Diaz to a Masvidal rematch in 2020, however, the fight was nixed for unknown reasons.
Nick, 37, hasn’t fought in more than five years – but if his manager’s prediction is correct, that will change in 2021. Recently, the brothers’ manager, Kevin Mubenga, provided insight into Nick’s return.
You can watch the Diaz brothers in action in the video above.
