A few years ago, Nate Diaz missed the opportunity to get the honorary BMF belt. The fighter, who is waiting to enter the boxing ring, views the BMF bout belt contenders for this occasion as nothing more than “dorks.”
During an interview with the Inside Fighting, Diaz expressed his opinion by saying, “ I don’t feel they fit the criteria. I’m good. Yeah. They’re dorks. Poirier and Gaethje, right? What are you talking about?”

Given their animosity and the fact that the BMF Belt is now on the line, the rematch between the second- and third-ranked fighters in the division is guaranteed to be intriguing. ‘The Highlight’ and ‘The Diamond’ can both secure a victory, making it difficult to predict who would win this time.
Nate Diaz’s upcoming bout with Jake Paul
The MMA veteran will square off against Jake Paul on August 5 at the Dallas American Airlines Center. There is already a lot of anticipation for the lucrative money match in the MMA community.
The 37-year-old fighter, however, intends to get back in mixed martial arts, despite the fact that he’s currently a free agent as his contract with the UFC expired last year. To return to the octagon, the welterweight fighter has his eyes set on defeating Jake first.
