Former UFC star Nate Diaz has shot down the idea of a rematch against Jorge Masvidal. Last weekend saw the rivals Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal go to war for the second time against each other. This meeting came 5 years after their original meeting however, that was in MMA. During that showdown, it was Jorge Masvidal who would come out on top and claim the victory. However, this time around instead of an MMA octagon this fight would take place in a boxing ring. Nate Diaz would be able to go out and manage to get his hand raised as he was able to claim a majority decision victory.
After the fight had happened and Nate Diaz was able to get the victory he turned his attention on who he would like to come up against next. So far in his career, he has had a fantastic career however, he doesn’t look to be stopping anytime soon. During the post-fight press conference, Nate Diaz would go on to call out fighters he would like to fight with next.

Nate Diaz would go on to speak to MMA Junkie and other reporters at the post-fight press conference and speaking about his next opponent he responded by saying;
“(Paul) was just off the top of my head that I would like to whip his ass,”
“I’d like to get a win against Leon Edwards, who is the best fighter in the world right now at 170.”
“That’s the only thing I’ve got in my head, is whoever thinks they’re f*cking tight can get their ass whooped,”
Nate Diaz was then asked if he would go on to rematch Jorge Masvidal. This is due to them now being 1-1 in wins between each other. Responding to this Nate Diaz explained;
“That’s a whole other situation for later,” Diaz said. “I think we’re 1-0 on each other. He got a win in MMA and I got a win in boxing. Who knows what’s going to happen with him… but at some point, something.”
We will have to wait and see who Nate Diaz fights against next. If he will be able to get the rematch against Jake Paul or if he’ll face the UFC welterweight champion. However, no matter who is next for Diaz he will be sure to put on an impressive performance.
