Nate Diaz Submits First USADA Sample of 2019

Despite his inactivity from the Octagon, Nate Diaz continues to be tested by USADA, and he recently submitted his first sample of the year.

Aaron Bronsteter of TSN was the first to report the matter.

Diaz’s sample submission does not guarantee a fight involving him will be made, but it may mean he hasn’t walked away from the Octagon fully.

Diaz has not fought since his two showdowns with Conor McGregor in 2016. He and the UFC have not been able to come to terms on another fight, with Diaz being unable to fight anyone that he deems not a big name. Diaz and Dustin Poirier were scheduled to fight at UFC 230, but an injury to Poirier forced the fight’s cancelation.
