During his time in the UFC, Nate Diaz was a cardio machine known for his relentless endurance and non-stop pace in the octagon. This reputation was solidified in his memorable fight against Conor McGregor. However, a recent development has raised doubts about whether the Stockton fighter can hold his own against a significantly larger opponent.
Nevertheless, the Stockton fighter is leaving no stone unturned in his intense preparation for his upcoming boxing match against Jake Paul on August 5, 2023. With no prior experience in professional boxing, Diaz has been working hard to refine his skills. Recently, a leaked video of the Stockton fighter’s sparring session surfaced, generating unfavorable reactions from fans. A number of fans expressed their disappointment and were quick to criticize his boxing skills, labeling him to be slow and sloppy with his punches.
