Possible opponents for Nate Diaz

Nate Diaz is one of the most beloved fighters in the world. He has his core followers, and the Diaz army is always in full support. Being such a huge name in the sport, it’s no surprise that so many fighters want to fight him. He is due to fight in his final fight in the UFC, and some of the biggest names in the sports want a crack at him.

Vicente Luque, the number 4 ranked welterweight, has been itching to get a bout against Diaz. Nate posted a similar message in September, where he teased a fight in December, to which Luque immediately replied. He said, “I’m ready for war! Bring the Diaz Army and let’s do this.”

Nothing seems to have happened on that front yet, but it sure will be an exciting fight if booked.

Another name that popped up, which got the fans super-excited, was that of Tony Ferguson. ‘El Cucuy‘ is another one of the fan favorites, and has no quit in him, just like Diaz. A fight between the two would be an absolute war, and the fans were all in. Diaz even tweeted a picture of Ferguson, teasing a fight, to which Ferguson replied. He said, “Blazin’Trails RollIt 170lbs -CSO- # @danawhite.@NateDiaz209.”

Another name that called out Diaz was the newest MMA sensation, Khamzat Chimaev. In the post-fight presser after his last fight, he said, “Hey Diaz, let’s go, bro. You gonna get some smoke, bro.” However, Diaz doesn’t seem too interested in fighting the newcomer and is looking for a big name.

There are a lot of potential fights for the Stockton native, but it will be interesting to see what name he and the UFC agree on.
