Nate Diaz could be seen jacked up in a Facebook post from ‘MMA Uncensored’ while he’s lacing up boxing gloves. Nate Diaz has been a topic of conversation in the boxing world for quite a long time. He’s been tagged by boxing promoter, Oscar De La Hoya for an opportunity if he ever thinks of leaning on the other side of the combat sports realm. And just a few days ago there was a conversation about a fight between Canelo Alvarez and Nate Diaz. Jake Paul has also called out the younger Diaz brother on multiple occasions.
Paul has even offered him a two-fight deal, in which there would be a boxing match and an MMA match, six months apart. And Jake Paul’s been making big moves for his transformation to an MMA fighter. Recently, Jake Paul signed a multi-year contract with UFC’s rival PFL, explaining details of Nate Diaz’s fight.
Nate Diaz has not officially answered the challenge yet. But does this post mean that the UFC fighter is ready to change his fighting stance?

Now, there is a possibility that Diaz could leave the octagon and step foot inside the ring. The post shows Nate fully bulked and chiseled, in possibly the best shape of his life. So it can be speculated that the fighter is maybe thinking about trying his hand at boxing.
Another hint made for his boxing debut was when he called out Jake Paul’s dad on his “hypocrisy”. Nate Diaz posted a tweet where he shared a video of Jake Paul’s father, Gregory Allan Paul, where he’s appreciating Diaz as a fighter and how he thinks he’s the best in the game. But then in Logan Paul’s podcast, he said, “He’s [Nate Diaz] a p*nk, his record is mediocre”. So Nate Diaz wrote in his recent tweet above the video, “[Apple] doesn’t fall far from the tree. The sh*thead family.”

Now could this be a build-up for a potential fight? Maybe. But in the recent Facebook photo, fans are going after Nate Diaz and siding with Jake Paul. Most of them think it’d be a bad idea for Nate to step inside the ring.
Fans react to Nate’s Facebook photo
One of the fans said that there goes another UFC fighter who’s going to leave the octagon. They wrote, “And…. Another ufc fighter leaves the pool”.
Another fan points out that Jake Paul is going to call him out and also adds that Nate Diaz would be an easy win for him. They wrote, “This is 100% type of fighters jake will call out so it’s obviously real. Dude is slow and can’t hit hard so it’s a easy win for Jake sadly”.
One fan said that they love the Diaz brothers but when it comes to boxing, Nate Diaz is going to lose. They wrote in their comment, “Stupid. I love diaz bros, but come on. He gets starched in just straight boxing”.

Now one fan pointed out that this particular photo is definitely an old picture. And it’s from one of Diaz’s old fights. They wrote, “Foh.. It’s an old pic. This was supposed to be him getting in shape for an old fight”.
Another fan backs up the previous comment and said that the photo is before the fight between Nate Diaz and Anthony Pettis. They wrote, “This was before the pettis fight”.
And there were many comments on the post which talked about Nate Diaz’s fitness. And one of them wrote, “Wow! Nate never looked so good, fit or chiseled. Why did he wait until his UFC days were over before unveiling his finest physical form? We honestly never saw this Nate before”.
