Nate Diaz, the original BMF champion of the UFC is not happy with how easily all the new fighters in the Lightweight division trash his name. Diaz, who has been with the UFC for over 15 years is one of the biggest names of his time.
In a recent promotional event for his upcoming bout against Masvidal, he talked about Justin Gaethje defaming the veteran fighter. He said, “The disrespect for even saying my name, that’s crazy. I was here before all of the UFC fighters, I’ll be here long after.” Nate Diaz talks about his time in the fight game, using Justin Gaethje of an example of somebody who “just got here” and is already “on the way out.”
