Nate Diaz has received better offer from BKFC than any other promotion, talks with management going great, claims President
Nate Diaz left the UFC this year after more than a decade with the promotion. However, it seems that the 'Stockton Slugger' is not done fighting yet. After his last fight against Tony Ferguson, Diaz is free to pursue other endeavors now that the UFC has ended its matching period with the one-time title challenger.
David Feldman, president of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), recently claimed that the promotion was making a very lucrative offer to the younger Diaz sibling and hinted at the negotiation talks going very well.
In a recent interview with The Schmo, Feldman was asked about an update on the status of Diaz fighting for the BKFC. Feldman stated:
"Talks are great with Nate Diaz... We're going to have an answer here in the next week or two, but great, great talks with his management team. The offer is very, very legitimate and a good offer for him. I think better than he's got anywhere else. So, I'm not saying he's definitely coming, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some of his blood on this canvas one day."

Unsurprisingly, a superstar of Diaz's caliber would have other MMA promotions scrambling for his signature. He was also called out by Jake Paul for a boxing match after the two had an altercation during the UFC 281 event.
With no shortage of opportunities for Nate Diaz, one can only speculate on his next career move.
Nate Diaz says Paddy Pimblett lost against Jared Gordon at UFC 282
Paddy Pimblett secured his fourth win in the promotion after defeating Jared Gordon at UFC 282 in a very controversial unanimous decision win. Many fans and fighters alike did not agree with the judges' decision and made their feelings known on social media.
Nate Diaz was one such personality who did not agree with the official scorecards and tweeted out as much. He wrote:
"Bruh? You lost that fight."
Check out the tweet below:
Statistically, Pimblett pipped Gordon in terms of significant strikes landed, but 'Flash' dominated the Liverpudlian in grappling scenarios, totaling six minutes and 28 seconds of control time. The American also had more takedowns, completing three of a total of six attempts as opposed to his opponent's zero successful takedowns.
Nate Diaz last fought Tony Ferguson at UFC 279, defeating 'El Cucuy' in the fourth round via submission. Their fight won them the 'Performance of the Night' bonus.
