UFC alum Nate Diaz denies suffering from CTE: ‘I’ve been talking this way the whole motherf*ckin’ time’

Ahead of his impending August professional boxing debut, former UFC welterweight contender and one-time lightweight title challenger, Nate Diaz has urged fans and critics alike that he is not suffering from brain trauma – claiming that his infamous cadence and tone of voice has been one he has carried his entire career.

Diaz, a former welterweight contender under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined from combat sports competition since he headlined UFC 279 back in September of last year, landing a fourth round guillotine choke submission win over former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson.
