Nate Diaz returns to the UFC Octagon this weekend at UFC 263 to fight Leon Edwards. Diaz is in Arizona for the event. In fact, the Stockton native has rented a mansion as his temporary abode ahead of the fight. The place looks as luxurious as one can imagine in one of the most beautiful locations possible.
Right in front of Diaz’s mansion are the mountains of Arizona. Needless to say, the UFC superstar has liked that as he plans to hike and run in one of those.
“The cool thing is one of these mountains, we can go hike and run,” he said while taking a tour of the place.

The exact location of the villa is in Paradise Valley, Arizona. Diaz is really happy to not stay in a hotel ahead of his fight.
“At least I ain’t cooped in a hotel with everybody, you know,” he said further.
“Houston would have been cool too, but that was closer to home and I have been there 3 times. The heights around here we can run and go do that,” he added before asking, “I didn’t see the gym. Is there a gym in here?”
He was confirmed by his peers that there’s a gym in his mansion.
Needless to say, Diaz rolls in his own way. As one of the biggest superstars of the UFC, he does things in his own way and how he pleases to do.
