“I will retire after the match at UFC 279,” Diaz once said that after knowing his opponent was Khamzat Chimaev. But at the weight test before the competition, Khamzat Chimaev exceeded the prescribed weight. This caused the organizers to cable for Diaz to fight Tony Ferguson.
As one of the first generation boxers of UFC, Nate Diaz is known as the top talented UFC player who has never won the championship. He can only challenge the belt once in 2012 and lose to Benson Henderson. Diaz won McGregor in March 2016, but lost after the rematch in August.
Diaz also said that after retiring, he would switch to martial arts boss. The boxer born in 1985 is cherishing the plan to set up a new martial arts tournament (MMA) to compete with UFC, Bellator or One Championship. In fact, Diaz also did not play much in recent years due to injury and age.
In fact, Tony Ferguson or Khamzat Chimaev are not rivals Nate Diaz wants to fight on the day of the top of the broken ring. He has repeatedly said he hoped to rematch McGregor, or encountered Dustin Poirier. However, this cannot become a reality, which is part of the reason Diaz wants to retire early.
Tony Ferguson, the opponent of Nate Diaz at UFC 279, was a fighter of the same time as him. At the age of 38, Tony Ferguson owns 25/32 times the UFC radio. He used to keep the time of UFC Lightweight. However, Ferguson has decided on the recent miserable form with a series of 4 consecutive defeats.
