Whole Foods is apparently not just for hippies. UFC fighters Rafael dos Anjos and Nate Diaz almost found themselves fighting at the store's hot bar.
Rafael dos Anjos was injured and rolling around on one foot but that didn't stop him from being prepared to scrap. Especially with his former UFC opponent Nate Diaz sizing him up.

I was in LA and — I’ve never told this story to nobody, only to close friends. So I was hungry driving back home and then I put on Google some Whole Foods around me and then I found some Whole Foods and went there to grab a bite. It was me and my wife. Then I had a little cart that you put your knee and then you start sliding, like a little scooter…and guess who was at the hot bar getting food? Nate Diaz.
“I look at him and he starts sizing me up,” continued UFC fighter dos Anjos. “I looked at him and it looks like he was going to fight me with a broken foot…my wife was so afraid because she was near me and she said, ‘I saw your hair doing that (pointing up) like a dog ready to fight’. I was really ready to fight. He said something like ‘get better’ or something like that. I couldn’t hear well but I said, ‘Okay, congratulations on your fight’ and he walked away.”
It was a strange encounter but very on-brand for Nate Diaz. The UFC fighters managed to avoid fighting after all.
