Nate Diaz to WWE may not even be a farfetched idea. The Stockton native recently left UFC after his win over Tony Ferguson in UFC 279.
At 37 years, the time maybe right for Diaz to swap the octagon for the squared circle. Indeed, we can expect the WWE to pay him a hefty amount to make appearances for the sports entertainment giant.
