Nate Diaz reveals his toughest opponent to date
Nate Diaz has named the toughest opponent of his career, and it’s not a superstar like Conor McGregor or Jake Paul. The Stockton native, known for his battles in both the UFC and boxing, pointed to Josh Neer as his hardest challenge in the Octagon.
Diaz, who went 1-1 against McGregor and faced Paul in a boxing match, has fought some of the biggest names in combat sports. Despite these high-profile encounters, he recalled his 2008 fight with Neer at UFC Fight Night 15 as his most grueling test:
"I watched him fight so much, and then trained so perfect for him that everything was like – he’d throw punches, I slipped it right under it, grabbed him and everything. But he countered everything and it was like if you watch that fight, me versus Josh Neer, it’s a hundred miles an hour. It’s a good fight. He’s a motherf*****. He’s my boy now, though, we’re homies!"
