After a disappointing outing towards Jake Paul, Nate Diaz redeemed himself final weekend with a formidable win over Jorge Masvidal. The 2 UFC legends boxed it out over 10 rounds and threw almost 1400 punches throughout that point. Two judges suppose Diaz’s punches had been barely simpler, incomes him the bulk choice.
And with that win, Diaz is again able to make a number of cash in his free agent period.
Sadly, two of the blokes he’s all for preventing are beneath UFC contract. The Stockton fighter has unfinished enterprise with Conor McGregor and welterweight champ Leon Edwards. In a brand new interview with Submission radio, Diaz’s coach Cesar Gracie mentioned these potentialities.
“I feel a trilogy in all probability makes a variety of sense for each of these guys,” Gracie mentioned of Diaz vs. McGregor 3. “You already know Chandler and McGregor is an effective battle too. However I imply, simply the historical past of Nate and McGregor, I feel it’d be the larger fan battle if they’d a trilogy. And for my part, that’s what I’m considering.”
“Nate doesn’t seem like he’s actually misplaced any steps recently. With McGregor, he’s been out of it for some time and he hasn’t had a win in a very long time. I must favor Nate on that one. His toughness, and he’s been within the recreation. And it’s not good when guys come out and keep out that lengthy from the sport. It’s laborious for them. And I feel whether or not McGregor fights Chandler or another person, I feel he’s going to have a variety of bother getting again to his peak efficiency.”
As for Leon Edwards, Cesar believes Nate already confirmed the world he has the instruments to beat “Rocky.”
“Edwards is on the high of his recreation for positive,” he mentioned. “And the factor with Nate is he simply at all times has the instruments to beat you. Edwards landed some completely devastating pictures of their battle. I noticed kicks, I noticed punches, and he received among the rounds. But when we’re going to be completely trustworthy, if there was one other spherical left, I feel all of the followers realized that Edwards was about to get knocked out in that battle.”
The one solution to win a battle towards Diaz is to keep away from preventing him and simply attempt to eke out a call.
“If you wish to level battle him, yeah, you can perhaps beat him,” Cesar mentioned. “However in the event you actually go to knock him out, that’s when you will get in bother. So it is determined by what it was we might see that night time.”
It’s all a bit tutorial at this level with Diaz exterior of the UFC. If the promotion desires him again, they’re gonna must again up a number of vans full of cash to get him.
“Tens of millions and hundreds of thousands of {dollars}, no matter they’re paying their highest folks,” Gracie mentioned. “Nate is such an icon of the game. He’s fought and deserves the issues he’s gotten. He needed to get every part the laborious means. He brings star energy with him. The occasion final night time was offered out. It was. And it was on Nate Diaz over there.”
“Nobody would have gone to that present with out Nate Diaz. It was so big.”
