After The UFC Career, Nate Diaz, But He Just Started Boxing

JAKARTA - Nate Diaz completed his contract with Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on Saturday night with a win over Tony Ferguson at the UFC 279 main event at the T-Mobile Arena.

The duel between Ciaz versus Khamzat Chimaev was canceled after the Swedish fighter failed to qualify. Chimaev finally fought Kevin Holland and Diaz challenged Ferguson.

During a post-fight interview, Diaz told Joe Rogan that he would show other UFC fighters how to take over other sports - something Conor McGregor couldn't do, he said.

Diaz, 37, has never won a championship belt in more than a decade fighting in the UFC, but he said he would return to claim the title after taking over boxing.

It is clear that Diaz's days of glory were far behind him and fortunately Chimaev failed to qualify considering the body. Because otherwise, the outcome of his last fight would be very different.

Chimaev himself finally beat Holland by submission in the first round.

In boxing, however, Diaz might be able to make a name for himself and earn a lot of money along the way, but it won't be easy.

One fight against Jake Paul, who has earned $40 million in his last three fights, is likely to pay Diaz more than he made throughout his UFC career.

A low-paid UFC fighter is a problem Paul frequently voiced and has even spoken to Francis Ngannou about his idea of fixing the issue.

Ngannou congratulated Diaz on Twitter after beating Ferguson, calling him a "free" person because his contract with the UFC has been completed and now he will make a lot of money.

However, in order for that to happen, Diaz must get better conditions and train seriously because he will become a younger, faster, and stronger boxer.
