Nate Diaz has never been afraid to call someone out for disrespecting him or his fights. The Stockton native heard what Eddie Hearn had to say about his boxing match and wasn’t happy. Diaz responded to Hearn’s comments by saying this on Twitter:
“Eddie Hearn I’ll beat all ur fighters a*ses Lightweight middleweight Heavyweights any weight all of them will get f*cked up And unless it’s complimentary keep my name outta your mouth cause u might get it also And fighters check your promoter so he doesn’t get uguys punked”
Eddie Hearn I’ll beat all ur fighters asses
Lightweight middleweight Heavyweights any weight all of them will get fucked up
And unless it’s complimentary keep my name outta your mouth cause u might get it also
“I’m watching that thinking this is so bad. The reason that Nate didn’t get stopped is because Jake doesn’t know how to break a fighter down, cut off the ring, beat him up, and stop him. But I give my props to Nate – super tough. But you’re talking about low, low level in terms of standard.”

With that said, he hasn’t confirmed if he plans to fight outside the Octagon again before returning to MMA. Only time will tell where the Stockton native decides to bring his massive fanbase.
