Nate Diaz is one of the biggest stars in the UFC. However, his 21-12 record doesn’t look like that of a star. But his attitude and willingness to take tough fights and be unapologetic has helped him amass a massive fanbase. The win over Conor McGregor solidified his status as a mainstream attraction, but the goals have changed since.

Diaz has taken what many call the toughest fight in the decision against Leon Edwards. However, despite Diaz’s record, former Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping believes that a win here could put Diaz in line for a title shot.

“Respect to Nate Diaz. He is a gigantic star and he can pick and choose, to a certain degree, who he wants to fight. He certainly has the power to turn anything down. But this is after title fights, big fights, trilogies with McGregor and all that. I didn’t expect him to take on a super dangerous guy like Leon Edwards. But there’s a lot to gain. If he goes out there and beats Leon Edwards, for sure he’s getting the title fight next. That’s a guarantee. That’s the cherry on top, that’s the risk-reward, that’s why he would do that. It’s a fu**ing amazing fight.”

Nate Diaz: Can he end Leon Edwards’win-streak?

Nate Diaz is a hard fight, no matter what his record says. However, Leon Edwards may be one of the most polished fighters in the UFC. But Diaz actually matches up well against him.

Diaz has elite BJJ, which will make Edwards re-think trying to outwrestle him. The master of the ‘Stockton Slap’ is one of the craftiest submission artists in the UFC, and Edwards could struggle if caught in a hold. Similarly, they match up well as strikers as well.
