Former UFC star Nate Diaz appears to be calling for a change of plans ahead of his boxing debut against Jake Paul in Dallas in response to a recent ruling from the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation (TDLR).
In mid-May, Diaz, who’s a noted marijuana advocate and user, received word from the TDLR that his request for a marijuana exemption had been denied. The decision came as a result of the state of Texas having a zero-tolerance policy for THC, throwing a wrench into Diaz’s preparation for his Aug. 5 clash with the social media star at the American Airlines Center.
In a tweet Friday, Diaz appeared to express his desire for the bout to change venues due to his denied request.
