Ben Askren minced no words while sharing his opinion on Nate Diaz.

While Diaz is an iconic name in MMA, Askren doesn’t think he was an elite fighter. Askren believes Diaz used his persona to convince people that he was good. Askren also pulled up Diaz’s record to prove his point. However, “Funky” doesn’t want his comments to go viral and attract the attention of the infamous Diaz army.

The Record Speaks for Itself

“Nate Diaz, I don’t even think he’s that good, but he has convinced people he’s good at fighting somehow, some way… He was average,” Askren told Daniel Cormier.
