White reacts to Diaz smoking at open workout

Nate Diaz will make his long-awaited return to the Octagon on Saturday at UFC 241, and it appears the time away hasn't made him shy away from the spotlight.

Diaz was as bold as ever during Wednesday's open workouts, as he entered the stage in a cloud of smoke.

Following the workout, Diaz told reporters he was smoking CBD, rather than marijuana.

UFC president Dana White took to Twitter shortly thereafter to express his apparent disappointment.

Diaz and White have a storied past together, which includes numerous feuds. The veteran fighter has often voiced his displeasure with the politics of the fight game and money paid to UFC athletes.

The 34-year-old will battle Anthony Pettis in Saturday's co-main event. His last fight came in August 2016 when he lost to Conor McGregor.
