Former UFC star Nate Diaz left the UFC in 2022. He left the promotion to get bigger and better opportunities outside of the Octagon. The Stockton native recently shared a photo on Twitter with a luxury liquor brand. Moreover, UFC legend Chael Sonnen shared his tweet with a comment, to which the fans shared their reactions.
Nate Diaz will participate in his first fight since leaving the UFC against Jake Paul on August 5th. The Ultimate Fighter 5 winner ended his UFC run on a high after defeating Tony Ferguson via submission at UFC 279. He would look to carry that momentum onto his first-ever professional boxing bout.
