The Diaz brothers have been long known in MMA circles for being advocates of marijuana, with the younger sibling being a catalyst for USADA implementing the “the Nate Diaz rule” and removing CBD from their prohibited list. Nate “made bank” based on what was initially deemed a somewhat controversial action, and now the UFC is also earning from a recently announced lucrative CBD sponsorship.

As much as I like Nate I can’t help but think that if he had a better attitude and played the game more strategically then he could have really reaped the rewards of ushering this in, instead of being on the outside looking in.

Is he making any money?

then again if he wasn't who he is he wouldn't have gotten those Conor fights...we can't look at what ifs when the facts are he is set financially and never wavered on his beliefs or broke character and that alone is priceless..I get exactly what you're saying but you have to.look at from a different perspective and I respect nate more than if he played the good boy and did what the ufc wanted..

He said in the interview with Ariel (who helped him promote his product proactively and gave him the platform to get it out there) that he has some cbd products which his company sells and Ariel asked him “do you want to promote your website nate?”
Nate:
“Yes”
Ariel:
“Go ahead, let us know what it is”
Nate:
“Yeah, umm, you know what? I don’t know the website address but.....”

I thought i read somewhere that they made some pretty good investments in the industry a while ago and both brothers are doing well because of it
