UFC Veteran Nate Diaz Destroys Basketball and Boxing in One Epic Tweet
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.

Will Nate Diaz return inside the octagon?
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.
Taking to TMZ sports, he said, “I would like to fight Dustin Poirier like right now. I’ve been trying to do, so I didn’t mix up it’s him and them and the game. I’m trying to fight now what’s up Dana White let’s get this retirement fight cracking so I can get out of this.”
However, they were most likely to clash at UFC 230 in late 2018, but could not reach fruition.
Moreover, along with Poirier, Diaz has mentioned one more opponent he would like to fight before retiring from the sport. He shared a picture of the pound-for-pound king of UFC, Kamaru Usman, and expressed his intention to smoke with the latter.
