Nate Diaz Hints at Interest in BMF Title Fight Against Max Holloway

[kuroro]

Not when there's a 10+ year age gap, big size gap and damage/CTE gap.

Jake isn't elite by any means, but he's been training boxing full-time with top-notch trainers for 7 years. Of course he's going to beat most retired MMA fighters who are either 20+ years older (Anderson Silva), much smaller or both. I mean Mike Tyson is a trained fighter, right?

none of those fights look real. they just stand in front of him and never attack. compare diaz boxing masvidal with diaz boxing paul. same with the anderson silva fight. he just stood there with his face stuck out and let paul hit him the entire time.

The Diaz brothers have faded in my book


This fight doesn’t interest me

Nate Diaz was one-half of the first ever BMF title fight in the UFC, and now he might be angling for another crack at that belt.

The Stockton, California, native recently posted a photo of Max Holloway — the promotion’s current BMF champion — on social media with the following caption: “This guy cool but he keeps wearing my belt.”





Diaz squared off against Jorge Masvidal for the inaugural BMF title at UFC 244 on Nov. 2, 2019 at Madison Square Garden in New York. While Diaz fought in typical gritty fashion, his night ended in a doctor stoppage loss after three rounds, which allowed Masvidal to capture the newly-created belt.

BMF Title a Popular Target Among UFC Athletes​

While the BMF title is not an official championship, it has nonetheless generated plenty of interest among fighters on the UFC roster. Holloway claimed the hardwared with a knockout of Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 and recently defended it against Dustin Poirier in the UFC 318 main event on July 18. The belt was not at stake in Holloway’s knockout loss to Ilia Topuria at UFC 308 — despite Topuria’s claims to the contrary.

Diaz hasn’t competed in the Octagon since September 2022, when he submitted Tony Ferguson in the fourth round of the UFC 279 main event. The popular Cesar Gracie Fight Team representative has twice fought in boxing matches after parting ways with the UFC, dropping a decision to Jake Paul in August 2023 before taking a majority verdict over Masvidal last July. There has been no indication that the UFC is close to reaching a deal with Diaz to return to the promotion.

Holloway, meanwhile, recently stated that he was intrigued by options ahead of him at 155 pounds after his latest triumph. Whether it’s a rematch with the likes of Topuria or Charles Oliveira, the Hawaiian pointed out that “this sport is all about moments.” Though not necessarily realistic at this point in time, a clash with Diaz could certainly fit that description.

Man, if Nate Diaz and Max Holloway throw down for the BMF title, that’s gonna be CRAZY. Both these guys love to scrap and they’ve got that nonstop style that makes for an absolute war. Nate’s got that dog in him, always pushing forward, but Max’s pace and striking are just on another level.

This would be one of those fights where both guys are just throwing down for five rounds straight. I’m all in for this one—who wouldn’t wanna see these two go at it?! What do you guys think, would this be an epic fight or what?
