Vicente Luque fires his shot at Nate Diaz

Luque spoke to Joe Rogan after his statement submission win and used his airtime to make a clear call-out. ‘The Silent Assassin’ took aim at Nate Diaz and fired artillery shells towards Stockton’s second son. While the call-out wasn’t disrespectful, he made sure to let Nate Diaz know what time it is.

“I want to take this time to call-out Nate Diaz. I called him out in the past and he didn’t respond. Think right now I got a big win, I got a streak coming on and man, my style you know it matches perfect.”

“I’m going to go forward, I’m going to punch everybody in the face and try to get that knockout every single minute and I think Nate is a perfect fight, let’s go.”

Nate Diaz has traditionally been a rather difficult fighter to match make for since he broke into the mainstream. In fact, it seems like only massive stars like Jorge Masvidal and Conor McGregor are enticing enough for him to make a return. However, there’s no more denying Luque as a clear contender who can take over the welterweight division.

Nate Diaz isn’t ranked in the upper echelon of the division, however, he’s still a massive money fight for Luque. Furthermore, Nate Diaz will bring up an elevated level of exposure for Luque, something he really needs going forward.
