Just when you thought the legend of Nate Diaz (pictured) couldn’t grow any larger, it just has. Prior to taking center stage against Conor McGregor at UFC 196, UFC commentator Mike Goldberg reported on the pay-per-view broadcast that, while Diaz did accept the fight against the UFC’s golden child on just 11 days’ notice, Diaz was in tiptop shape because he had been training for a triathlon.
Goldberg might want to check his sources, because unless “training for a triathlon” is the same thing as boozing it up on a yacht in Cabo San Lucas, then yes, Diaz was training very hard for his upcoming triathlon.
