Nate Diaz did not take a friendly way to Dana White and indicated that he did not want to fight against the unbeaten Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2014.
Diaz's many wars and memorable moments in the Octagon have considered him one of the most game hunters to compete on the largest stage of mixed martial arts.
But the Stockton star was not always seen as such by every figure in MMA. After his rematch against Conor McGregor, Diaz was described by Joe Rogan as 'undervalued'.
Talking about the Californian who is not kept that high by White and the UFC existed years earlier, with one copy even questioning the toughness of Diaz.
Nate Diaz pushed back on the claim of Dana White about Khabib Nurmagomedov
At the beginning of 2014, the then UFC light weight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov was 21-0 in MMA and hunting for his next victim.
According to White, no soul in the division was interested in combating the elite – strangling arsenal of Dagestani – a claim he made in response to a fan on social media that Nurmagomedov vs. Diaz Pitchen.
The American hunter stood on the fair that tapped him next to the claim and considered it a claim that he dived 'the eagle'.
Diaz shot back with a simple message.
“@Danawhite @UFC is full of s – t,” Diaz wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “I have not rejected anything …”
Nate Diaz's old feud with Khabib Nurmagomedov apparently led to the recent reality show Brawl
Not long after Diaz returned to claims that he would not fight against Nurmagomedov, their rivalry moved to a different level.
During a World Series of Fighting event in August 2015, the favorite fan fan was behind a considerable quota of Dagestanis, including 'The Eagle'.
After the American was reportedly mocked, Diaz made Nurmagomedov and started a fight. A decade later, that blow apparently resulted in another Melee.
Diaz's planned coaching stint opposite Jones on Russia's look at the ultimate hunter was recently canceled. That was after a Russian hunter had fueled a fight with the American and his team, apparently because of the historical feud with Nurmagomedov.
After that failed reality show appearance, Diaz's next step in combat sports is unclear.
The 40-year-old did not participate in the form in July 2024 since a professional boxing victory on the former UFC rival Jorge Masvidal.
