Nate Diaz says he’s a real fighter
RELATED: Justin Gaethje changes tune as he’s now interested in fighting Conor McGregor.
When asked why he didn’t like Khabib Nurmagomedov, he said he wasn’t a fan of the way he fought. He also claims Nurmagomedov and Daniel Cormier aren’t real fighters like he is.
“Yeah, that’s cool. If that’s how you fight. But the style in general, he’s not a real fighter. Him, ‘DC’ (Daniel Cormier), certain guys. I’m just not interested in that kind of fighting at all,” Diaz said. “Not wrestling because I love wrestling. It’s just the jocky attitude. I’m a real fighter. I like real fighters who fight for real.”
It shouldn’t be a surprise to see Nate Diaz take aim at wrestlers as he has been vocal about his displeasure with people who just want to hold people down. Instead, Diaz is looking for the fun fights he had against Conor McGregor that proves they are real fighters, in Diaz’s word.
Nate Diaz is set to return to fighting on Saturday as he makes his pro boxing debut against Jake Paul. It is his first fight since he left the UFC after fighting out his contract following his submission win over Tony Ferguson.
