Nate Diaz Openly Smokes Joint at UFC 241 Open Workout; Passes It To Fans (VIDEO)

Nate Diaz is making his return to the Octagon, and he is doing it in style.

The controversial fighter will make his first UFC appearance since August 2016 when he faces Anthony Pettis in the welterweight fight at UFC 241 on Saturday at the Honda Center in Anaheim.

On Wednesday, Diaz shocked fans when he appeared to be smoking a joint during his open workout.

Nate Diaz has no worries. ?‍♂️
