BKFC President Lays Down Plan for “Biggest Fan-Favorite” Fight for Nate Diaz & It’s Not Against Conor McGregor

UFC’s prominent fighter, Nate Diaz, leaving the promotion was sad news for his loyal fanbase. However, the fighter is not done with his combat career and fans may still get to see him compete. As per BKFC CEO David Feldman, ‘The Stockton Slugger’ and boxing legend, Tyson Fury might be seen together in his promotion. Further, the CEO also had an exciting fight in mind for Diaz, but it wasn’t against his biggest rival, Conor McGregor. If anything, it was a rather surprising name.

Diaz’s exit from the UFC gave rise to rumors about him entering the boxing arena or even WWE. But, from Feldman’s recent revelation, BKFC could be a contending choice for Diaz. It may not be surprising, considering UFC fighters have looked toward bare-knuckle boxing post their MMA careers.

Will Nate Diaz consider BKFC as his new home?

Many consider bare-knuckle fighting to be brutal because of its bloody nature. However, when it comes to Diaz, the fighter isn’t scared to lose some blood while competing. If anything, it is quite a norm for him.

In a recent interview with ‘TMZ Sports’, Feldman revealed, “I want Nate Diaz and, you know, we weren’t allowed to make a play for him yet, because he was in that UFC window. I want a couple other guys…”

He further revealed his interest in ‘every other free agent in the market’. The BKFC founder understands he needs a few major names to push the promotion ahead.

“Biggest fan-favorite fight, you know, in combat sports would be him versus Mike Perry.”

Feldman was of the opinion it would be a blockbuster fight, as both fighters do not hesitate to move forward. Additionally, he spoke about getting in boxing legend, Tyson Fury as well.

“We made a play for Tyson Fury as well. But he has three more boxing matches that he’s definitely slated to do.”

Did BKFC make Diaz an offer?

Feldman did not hesitate to share his interest in getting the 22-13-0 MMA record holder onboard. However, he also revealed he wasn’t allowed to comment on the extent to which the promotion was in the talks with Diaz. He said, “There’s tremendous interest in him and we’re not allowed to talk.”

He added they didn’t get much deep into the negotiations apart from speaking to people from his team. It seems the 37-year-old may show interest in BKFC if the money is right.
