After the Nate Diaz vs Leon Edwards last weekend, UFC President Dana White said, “Although bleeding on both sides of the head, Nate still plays very hard, which is exactly the style of the Diaz brothers.” Nate Diaz fans said Nate had “lost all the motivation” to play with Leon Edwards due to serious injuries in the eyes from one month before the match.
The 36-year-old American puncher (21-13), lost to the “Rocky” Edwards at UFC 263 after more than a year and a half without playing. Nate Diaz congratulated the British puncher and said he would return to the arena as soon as possible.
“I was cut down so we had to repel the town down a month. Regardless of what happened, I also fell in love with it. – Diaz answered the press conference after the match.
Diaz said he had not had the motivation to practice and was a bit sorry that Edwards was not allowed to be “frozen” after a while after his attack.
“I have tried my best to enter the game, trying to go to the next point in the whole game. I was ready for the game and was cut down and backed the match, it was disappointing and I did not have the motivation to practice and did not try to win. I am just improvising.”
After the last match, UFC President Dana White gave many compliments to Diaz and also said he did not know what he wanted to do with the next Diaz, but he understood that Nate Diaz was the name that was a lot of fans.
“Nate Diaz is a name that is loved by many fans whether he wins or drew. Although bleeding on both sides of the head, Nate still plays very hard, which is exactly the style of the Diaz brothers. And now I still have no next plan for him, let's wait and see.”
