Nate Diaz Responds to Criticism Following Boxing Match
Nate Diaz, the renowned Stockton MMA icon, has finally addressed the backlash he received after his recent boxing match with Jake Paul. Despite losing the bout via unanimous decision, Diaz took to Twitter to defend himself against the criticism.
In a brief statement, Diaz stated that those criticizing him lack any fighting skills of their own. While he did not explicitly name anyone, it was clear that he was referring to specific individuals who know who they are.
Diaz’s performance against ‘The Problem Child’ left many disappointed, especially considering his previous comments about Paul’s fighting abilities. Even Conor McGregor, Diaz’s long-time rival, expressed his frustration with Diaz’s conduct during the match.
Despite the criticism, Diaz and McGregor are still expected to have a trilogy bout to settle their historic rivalry. Diaz submitted McGregor at UFC 196, while McGregor won via majority decision at UFC 202.
As for Diaz’s next move, there are no concrete details. After the boxing match, he was offered a rematch in MMA under the PFL banner, which he seemed open to. However, Diaz mentioned that further discussions need to take place, including how the fight will be promoted.
On the other hand, McGregor has shown a growing interest in facing Diaz in their long-awaited trilogy bout. McGregor even hopes that the fight will be for the BMF title, a championship currently held by Justin Gaethje.
Before any of that can happen, McGregor must first face Michael Chandler.
