Nate Diaz has finally been humbled. Fans on X gave the UFC star a reality check after he made a bizarre claim. Francis Ngannou fought Anthony Joshua this weekend and the former UFC star did not have a good night. ‘AJ’ knocked him out cold to win the bout. Following the fight, Diaz tweeted out saying that he could beat any of the big heavyweight boxers. Fans on X, who are usually always rallying behind the Stockton native, had to humble him this time.
Nate Diaz has one professional boxing fight under his name. He lost to Jake Paul last year in his boxing debut. Despite this, he called out Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, and Francis Ngannou on X.

Despite severing his ties with the UFC, Nate Diaz seems eager to return to the octagon. However, now that The Sphere is out of the question, it will be interesting to see what Diaz will want.
A trilogy fight against Conor McGregor is definitely on the cards, since both fighters want it. All the fans need is for the UFC to see it through.
