MMA legend Nate Diaz recently revealed his intense dedication to staying hydrated, disclosing that he keeps a remarkable 15 water bottles by his bed every night.
“I stay hydrated. I always have water on me, no matter where I’m at,” Diaz shared during his appearance on The HJR Podcast. “You just see my bed next to my room. I got f**king 15 waters from every night.”
The Stockton native, known for his exceptional cardio and endurance in the octagon, attributes part of his success to his hydration routine. This habit appears to be just one aspect of Diaz’s disciplined approach to fighting and training.
During the podcast, Diaz also discussed his potential return to the UFC, noting that while he doesn’t have a specific opponent in mind at the moment, he’s open to competing at 170 pounds. When asked about potential matchups, he expressed interest in fighters like Max Holloway and mentioned that a trilogy fight with Conor McGregor is something that “got to happen.”
Diaz also revealed an interesting Hollywood connection, sharing that he was initially offered the role that Conor McGregor played in the “Roadhouse” remake starring Jake Gyllenhaal. However, he turned it down, explaining,
“I ain’t going to no movie and losing to no broke back mountain.”
Throughout the interview, Diaz discussed his long-standing relationship with weed, explaining how it actually helped him train and stay motivated.
“It’s what created an old thing for me,” he said, describing how smoking helped him visualize techniques and motivated him to train harder.
With his unique fighting style, authentic personality, and apparently 15 water bottles by his bed each night, Nate Diaz continues to be one of the most distinctive and beloved figures in combat sports.
