The rivalry between boxers and UFC fighters is deep-rooted. Though both are combat sports warriors, the UFC fighters consider boxing an easy sport. The UFC megastar Conor McGregor and UFC welterweight king Kamaru Usman have already made a cutting remark on boxing. The new UFC superstar on the list is Nate Diaz. But he did not limit himself to boxing. The Stockton native also targeted basketball.

Recently, the UFC legend Nate Diaz took to Twitter and destroyed the most followed sports in the USA in a single statement.

He Tweeted, “Losing a boxing match is like losing a basketball game It’s not a real Fight.”

According to Diaz, these sports do not deliver an actual fight. However, he did not mention why it was so?

Notably, the 37-year-old is out of action for many months. According to reports, the Stockton native has one fight left under his UFC contract.

The Stockton fighter was last seen at UFC 263 in Glendale, Arizona, against Leon Edwards. However, he lost the bout but stole the spectators’ attention at the end.

As of now, he has clarified that he wanted to meet the UFC star, Dustin Poirier.
