Nate Diaz is one of the funniest characters in the MMA world. He is known to not hold back and always speak his mind. Stockton’s native is a huge fan favorite because of how he portrays himself inside and outside the octagon.
The former UFC lightweight title challenger recently activated his Twitter fingers and trolled two current fighters. Jeff Molina and the protege of Nick and Nate Diaz, Nick Maximov, were engaged in a back-and-forth, which prompted a response from Nate. Maximov recently competed in the UFC Fight Night 200 co-main event. He t0ok on Punahele Soriano and won the fight via a split decision. He came into the fight as an underdog but put in an impressive performance to get the win.
Molina, after the fight, tweeted out suggesting that he lost a lot of money on the fight. Maximov was quick to shade on him and responded. However, this got a reaction out of Nate Diaz. He commented on the post and said, “Well u homeless fu**ers can eat a d**k how bout dat?”

‘El Jefe’ couldn’t hold himself back after the reply and posted a photo. He funnily asked the fans, “what do u think he meant by this?”
It all looked in good spirits and seemed like friendly banter between the fighters. Diaz hasn’t fought in some time and during his time away has taken his talents to Twitter. He is seen trolling or calling fighters out now and then. However, he has been working with Maximov and he and his brother got high praise from the youngster.

The Diaz brothers are two of the most popular fighters in MMA history. Fans love them and always get excited whenever they fight. They are currently training a rising prospect in the game Nick Maximov. He is a Dana White’s Contender Series graduate and is 2-0 in the UFC.
The young fighter looks up to the brothers and hopes to live up to their expectations. In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, he said, “I was a big Nate fan, but I was a really big Nick fan. I liked Nate, but I really liked Nick. It was just something about his style that I really liked — just his fighting style… It really just spoke to me how they do jiu-jitsu, how they box, all of that stuff.”
