| Dominick Cruz appeared on The Dan Le Batard show and criticized Garbrandt's UFC résumé, promising to prove that the Team Alpha Male product is "not even deserving to be in the top-five" of the 135-pound rankings if the two end up meeting inside the cage. "My response to his critiquing is that he's a little b*tch, first off," Garbrandt said Monday on The MMA Hour. "And he's scared. I went up to him before the fight, we walked in, we're getting security patted down. He's was sitting around there. I just went up to him and let him know, hey, I'm going to knock Takeya out and then you're next. And you should've seen how scared that dude was. He was looking around to see if security was going to break it up. |

| "Honestly, the first round it all looked good but I've said it a million times, he's just not a championship fighter. Not a five, 5-minute round fighter. Never has been, never will be. Some guys can have the chops for it and some guys don't. I've said it from the beginning, I looked at him as a three, 5-minute round fighter and that's where he'll be, that's where he should stay. I think he's good. I think anything past 8-9 minutes it just starts to look sloppy and looks a little messy." "I've fought the best guys in the world...I look up to a lot of the guys I fight. I see them as some of the best guys. I try to challenge myself against them. But when I beat a legit guy who I feel has taken his time in this sport and is a real fighter and then I get done with the fight and I get asked about this Irish dude it's really kind of disappointing to me...because the guys I've fought were way higher caliber than this guy." |

| Diaz might be facing a UFC anti-doping policy potential violation for vaping cannabis at the UFC post-fight press conference Saturday night in Las Vegas, MMA Fighting has learned. Diaz was vaping on the dais and, when asked, said it was CBD, or cannibidiol oil. "It's CBD," Diaz said after his majority decision loss to Conor McGregor. "It helps with the healing process and inflammation, stuff like that. So you want to get these for before and after the fights, training. It'll make your life a better place." |
"If Conor McGregor wants to say some (expletive) to me and get his name out there more than he already has by dropping my name, I've got (expletive) about 10 words for him. Come here face to face Conor and say it to my face. Otherwise leave me and the (expletive) WWE out of it because I came to your arena and kicked ass. Now if you want and if you're so (expletive) tough come to our arena and try to kick some ass."
Cruz has been kicking a lot of ass for a very long time. Outside of fight promoting, he shouldn't be talking about the champ like that.
Nate Diaz should be fine as the likelihood of his vaping pushing him beyond any banned substance threshold is extremely low.
Technically his vaping did take place while still in competition (till 6 hours after the fight), but it's highly likely that his post-fight tests had already happened, thus there would be nothing to worry about it.
Even if Diaz was tested after, the threshold for Cannabis is 150ng/ml though an athlete can be found to be as high as 170ng/ml before the notification threshold is reached.
Technically it is restricted, however, the tests are for Carboxy-THC and the THC levels in vaped in CBD are so low that it's highly unlikely that it would trigger anything.
