Four days out from his red panty night, Nate Diaz looks fit enough to ninja Conor McGregor's ass up.
There were concerns over what sort of shape Diaz would be in for UFC 196, since he took the fight against the Notorious on short notice. Many people, including the former lightweight champion, felt that someone who was coming off a full camp like Donald Cerrone would have been a much better replacement for Rafael dos Anjos. However, UFC president maintained that Nate would be fully prepared as he had been training for a triathlon when he got the call. It seems like Uncle Dana may have been right as Nick Diaz uploaded a photo of his younger brother on his Sqor account which shows the number five-ranked lightweight looking in fantastic shape. It's also worth noting the American flag resting on his shoulders. This seems to indicate that the UFC are planning on running with the American Ninja vs Irish Ninja angle that Nate coined.
