Nate Diaz claps back at people claiming he has CTE

Throughout his UFC career, Nate Diaz developed a reputation for taking a lot of damage in his fights. However, during a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Diaz clapped back at the people claiming that he has CTE.

Moreover, the former UFC superstar explained how he got cut during his fights inside the octagon by saying:

"I don't really be eating punches like how they say. I bleed because of the forearms and the elbows and s**t cut me up but like I said, I've been in a boxing gym and it might not look like it but I roll with a lot of these punches that anybody lands on me. I'm not just walking in like a meathead into punches."

While claiming that he has never been stunned, Diaz said:

"I've never been knocked out. I've never even really been f**king stunned stupid or nothing. These f**kers are talking about how I talk and how I've got f**king CTE or some s**t. I'm like 'bro, I've been talking this way the whole motherf**king time'. It's got nothing to do with getting hit or none of that and I'm smarter now than ever."
