Nate Diaz was in attendance at UFC 276, which took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and marked the promotion's pay-per-view event for International Fight Week. The card had a lot of star power with Israel Adesanya and Max Holloway featuring in title bouts in the main and co-main events, but Diaz being who he is, drew a lot of attention as he made his way through the building.

The Stockton native uploaded a vlog documenting his journey to and around Las Vegas for the event. Among the many who tried to speak with the fan-favorite UFC fighter was actor Miles Teller. The 35-year-old from Pennsylvania is widely recognized as jazz drummer Andrew Neiman in the movie Whiplash and, most recently, as Lt. Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw in Top Gun: Maverick.

Teller beamed from ear to ear as he met Nate Diaz in the stands at UFC 276 and expressed how much of a fan he is of the UFC veteran. Although much of the conversation is drowned out by the music and the event's ambiance, the few audible exchanges and the joy on Teller's face are enough to deduce his evident happiness. The Whiplash actor appeared to have a lot to say to the 37-year-old fighter from Stockton who's currently trying to secure his release from the UFC.
