Former UFC fighter Ben Askren has explained why he doesn’t believe Nate Diaz was ever that good in mixed martial arts.
When you talk about some of the most popular fighters in the recent history of the UFC, especially over the course of the last 10 years, Nate Diaz needs to be part of that conversation. He achieved some great things during his time with the promotion, but his biggest moments came in his two-fight series with Conor McGregor that really allowed him to reach an entirely new level of superstardom.
Of course, Nate Diaz was never quite able to become a world champion, but he did manage to compete for the BMF title in the first ever fight of its kind alongside Jorge Masvidal.
