Nate Diaz is one of the most loved fighters on the UFC roster. Many fans often refer to the Stockton native as a ‘gangster’ because of the way he carries himself. Diaz is an absolute entertainer in the octagon and outside of it as well.

Recently, Nate Diaz had an altercation with the former UFC fighter, Brendan Schaub, and insulted him and his professional fighting career.

The conversation started off on a good note. They both were discussing Conor McGregor’s boxing match against the legendary Floyd Mayweather. Schaub was defending the Irishman, whereas Diaz claimed that Floyd Mayweather ‘wasn’t even trying.’

They both agreed to disagree and there was no beef until Diaz told the former UFC fighter that he lacked knowledge on the subject. Schaub then told Diaz that Conor McGregor was furious with him. Diaz didn’t seem to take that very well and went on to insult Brendan Schaub.

It seems like Schaub was trying to keep things civil with the Stockton gangster, and also tole him that he has no problem with him. In response to this, Nate Diaz said,” well, I think you’re a bitch. Remember your career? P**sy, f**k you.”

Nate Diaz: What’s next?

Diaz hasn’t been inside the octagon ever since his loss against Leon Edwards last year at UFC 263. The fight marked his second consecutive defeat and his thirteenth career loss.

Diaz is speculated to return to the UFC this year for one final fight in the UFC. Diaz is currently on his last fight according to his existing contract and there has been no news of him re-signing a contract with the promotion.

His last fight could be a trilogy bout against his bitter rival, Conor McGregor. A bout against McGregor would make complete sense to fix since it will amass big numbers and also guarantee a huge payout for Diaz in his last UFC bout.
