Nate Diaz has a very uncertain future in the UFC and everyone has been giving their opinions on what should be next for him. Jorge Masvidal, his former opponent, recently spoke out about his future and did not hold back.
The two fought back in 2019 but Jorge Masvidal would be interested in running things back with Nate Diaz if the opportunity was available. The UFC star currently has one fight left on his deal before fighting again.
“I think he’s got too much CTE, probably can’t even fucking understand what they’re putting in front of him. I don’t know. I usually don’t take the UFC’s side for many things, but from what I’ve heard and seen, I’m like, this guy’s just a fucking diva, bro – just fucking fight,” Masvidal said on his Monday appearance on The MMA Hour.
“I could sign him off in his last fight if he wants. All that shit-talking he’s been doing lately. I wouldn’t mind breaking his jaw and sending him off to whatever gambling casino he’s going to be fighting at or Indian reservation he’ll be headlining. I don’t mind.
“But he won’t sign when my name gets brought up again. It’s another ghost-ghost on [UFC executive] Hunter [Campbell], on all the matchmakers for weeks when my name gets brought up. So it’s whatever.”
Jorge Masvidal continued to go off on Nate Diaz and detailed his beef with him. There has been no love lost between the two UFC fighters in the past three years.
“I guess me kicking him in the f–ng mouth changed. The referee stopped him because he had numerous cuts on his face,” he said. “I never once went to the referee [and said], ‘Hey, you should stop this fight. This guy looks in bad shape.’
“Yet he called me a coward, said all types of shit, and continues to f–ng play it up like that. You don’t have to get the rematch like that. You can just say, ‘Hey, let’s rematch. It was a good first fight.’ Calling me a coward, or I was ready to quit, have you ever seen me quit in a fight?
“Like me just going back to the seat and say, ‘No, this guy’s too much,’ especially if I’m up on all fucking judges’ scorecards going into the fourth and fifth round, all the damage I put on this guy, I’m going to all of a sudden I’m just going to quit because the pace was too much.
“If anybody was going to quit, it was him,” he added. “So him calling me a coward, him saying I was getting tired, that I was getting ready to quit, it’s like, you ain’t gotta do all that, bro. But if you want to do it, sure, you can join the list of idiots I know.”
