Shields: Nick Diaz got ‘a little out of control’ drinking, but ‘the old Nick’ is coming back

Nick Diaz pretty much kept himself out of the public eye over the last five years in hiatus. Save for that lengthy interview he did with ESPN in November 2019, fans mainly got updates through his social media posts.

Based on some of the videos that went around, you can say that Nick enjoyed himself a lot. Training partner Yancy Medeiros even spoke about Diaz’s partying ways in a 2018 interview.

You can’t out-drink Nick. He’ll make you go to sleep, brother. The first time I ever got drunk, blacked out, was at Nick’s.
