Nate Diaz finished his Ultimate Fighting Championship contract on Saturday night with a win over Tony Ferguson in the main event UFC 279 at the T-Mobile Arena.
During an interview after the fight, Diaz said: Joe Rogan that he’s going to show other UFC fighters how to master another sport. Conor McGregor couldn’t do it, he said.
Diaz, 37, has never won a championship belt in more than a decade of fighting in the UFC, but he has said he will return for the title once he takes over the reins.
It is clear that the glory days of Diaz are far behind. fortunately that Khamzat Chimaev missed weight because the result of his last fight would have been completely different.
However, in boxing, Diaz might be able to make a name for himself and make a ton of money along the way, but it won’t be easy.
Nate Diaz vs. Jake Paul?
The only fight against Jake Paulwho has made $40 million in his last three fights will likely pay Diaz more than he has earned in his entire UFC career.
UFC fighters are underpaid, an issue that Paul has spoken openly about and once even talked to. Francis Ngannou about his ideas to solve this problem.
Ngannou congratulated Diaz on Twitter after defeating Ferguson, calling him a “free” man because his UFC contract ended and he would now be making real money.
However, for this, Diaz will have to get in better shape and get serious about training, because he will be boxing with younger, faster and stronger guys.
