Nate Diaz may not be in the UFC at the moment, but he’s all ears to what the current roster has to say about him. The Stockton native is as vocal as they come, which has earned him fans over the years. Recently, he did the same thing. It appears that a UFC prospect had some choice words for Diaz, who didn’t seem to appreciate them and decided to address the situation.

Before Nate Diaz’s epic boxing match against Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer had a small training session with Bo Nickal. It was after the incident where the former UFC star choked out the lookalike of Logan Paul that Nickal decided to teach Paul how to tackle Diaz if he finds himself in a street fight. However, the middleweight prospect didn’t appear to disparage the UFC icon, but the Stockton native seems to have other issues with Nickal.

During a recent interview, Nate Diaz revealed that he found Bo Nickal taking jibes at him, although he didn’t specify exactly what the 185 lbs prospect said. Not only did the former lightweight/welterweight fighter express his disdain over what was said, but Diaz also warned the former NCAA Division I champion not to speak his name in vain.

“That Bo Nickal dude was like talking to somebody about me, yeah, just dissing on me. I’m like, ‘B—h, f— you. Why you even talking? [Don’t] put my name in your mouth, little b—h,'” Nate Diaz stated on ‘The HJR Podcast’. While Bo Nickal hasn’t really mentioned anything about the UFC icon on a public platform, it’s clear that he really doesn’t have much love for people who use his name in vain.

Nate Diaz wants to win a UFC title

Nate Diaz is as big of an MMA star as they come. He’s had multiple top-tier fights, with the two clashes against Conor McGregor standing out as two of the biggest UFC fights in history. But the only thing that’s eluded him is a UFC championship, and now, that’s what the Stockton native wants to pursue as he claims that he has a lot more to add to his legacy.

“The legacy, I don’t think about it as done. I think it’s underrated, and I think there’s like f—king – I think I left more of an impact than a lot of these f—king, anybody has, really,” Nate Diaz told ‘Full Violence’. “It [past achievements] can go away because you ain’t getting credit to begin with, anyway. You might as well keep that sh-t going forever. That’s why I plan on fighting forever.”

What’s your perspective on:

Can Nate Diaz's return to the UFC shake things up, or is it too late for a title?

Have an interesting take?

Well, there’s been no indication from Dana White that he’s considering bringing back Nate Diaz. Regardless, after the Jake Paul boxing match, the UFC CEO did claim to have kept the promotion’s doors open for the Stockton native if he ever decides to make his way back. Well, that remains to be seen, as in the meantime, let us know what you think about Diaz’s statements on Bo Nickal in the comments section down below.
