Nate Diaz continues to be one of MMA's biggest advocates for CBD recovery before, during and after competition.

UFC Nate Diaz is one of the sports' biggest advocates for CBD and the health benefits it provides professional athletes. After his UFC 202 fight against Conor McGregor, one of the biggest pay-per-views in UFC history, a reporter asked Diaz what substance he was using in his vape pen.
"CBD oil, if you don't know what that is," said Diaz.
Diaz quickly schooled the audience to the benefits of CBD and how it provides an alternative to the pharmaceuticals athletes often use to numb their post-competition pains.
"CBD – it helps with the healing process, inflammation, and stuff like that," Diaz told reporters. "You can get these [CBD vapes] for before and after training, [it'll] make your life a better place.
Diaz is just one of many professional athletes speaking up about their CBD use and how it helps them in all aspects of their career.
The extremely limited amounts of THC in CBD products offer professional athletes the ability to obtain all of the benefits of hemp without worrying about running afoul of drug testing protocol. As previously stated, it also provides a natural alternative to the opioids athletes are often prescribed for recovery. You don't have to be a world-class athlete like Diaz to enjoy these CBD benefits.
