UFC : NATE DIAZ DROPS OUT OF UFC 244 HEADLINER AMIDST 'DRUG TEST' SNAFU !

FORMER UFC CHAMPION NATE DIAZ HAS DROPPED A BOMB AHEAD OF THE UFC 244 IN NEW YORK, NEXT WEEK - - WHERE HE HEADLINES AS THE MAIN EVENT - - ANNOUNCING HE IS NOT TURNING UP TO FIGHT IN THE MAIN CARD.

NATE DIAZ, WHO IS SCHEDULED TO FACE JORGE MASVIDAL FOR THE MUCH-DRUMBEAT WELTERWEIGHT SQUARE-OFF, SLAMMED THE UNITED STATES ANTI DOPING AGENCY (USADA) FOR HIS APPARENT FAILED DRUG TEST, SAYING "I AM NOT PLAYING ALONG WITH THIS BULLSH*T".

IT WAS NOT FIRST CLEAR, IF NATE DIAZ OUTRIGHT FAILED THE DRUG TEST, AS REPORTS SAY HE TESTED POSITIVE "WITH ELEVATED LEVELS" FOR TRACE AMOUNT OF A BANNED SUBSTANCE, POSSIBLY FROM TAINTED SUPPLEMENTS.

IN AN EXPLETIVE-LADEN POST ON TWITTER, NATE DIAZ EXPRESSED DISSENT HE WOULD FAIL A DRUG TEST, AS HE ONLY EATS WHOLEFOOD AND TAKES NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS.

"I DON'T EVEN EAT MEAT", HE AVERRED.

ESPN MMA LATER REPORTED, NATE DIAZ IS NOT ACTUALLY SUSPENDED, OR ANYTHING, BY USADA, THEREBY COULD STILL POSSIBLY MAKE IT TO THE OCTAGON COME NOVEMBER 2.

@ufc 👑 @natediaz209 is cleared to fight next week. But he’s not heading to New York at this point. This is what’s going on, he was told on the phone, that LOW levels (nearly undetectable, trace amounts ) of something were found in a USADA test and that the source was - tainted supplements. Nate who is a vegan & only takes natural supplements (he does not eat meat) Wants this matter cleared up before the fight. He is no cheat. You just can’t accuse someone who is innocent of doing wrong and then tell them not to worry about it. Integrity is more important to Nate than a payday. #mma #ufc #boxing #natediaz photo 📸 by the best Photog @elijahgutierrez
