Top MMA manager plays matchmaker for Nate Diaz in 'BKFC or Dirty Boxing' after the latter claims there isn't any one 'entertaining' right now

Nate Diaz foresees a UFC return down the line but isn't tempted by any exciting options in the world's premier MMA promotion at the moment. A notable MMA manager has now put forth a suggestion for Diaz's next bout.

The Stockton native exited the UFC back in 2022, competed in two boxing bouts, and is now on the lookout for his next fight. He lost to Jake Paul in his professional boxing debut before beating former foe Jorge Masvidal last year. Diaz hasn't competed since July 2024 and was recently asked what's lined up for him next.

In an interview with Full Violence, Diaz claimed that while he does intend to return to the UFC and fight for a championship, nobody on the current UFC roster excites him. He said:

"Well, everybody is boring right now, so I am trying to do other s**t, but I want to go back and get a UFC title. But I don't want to fight for nothing, you know? I want to fight for something. Well, right now, there's nobody that's that entertaining,"

Abraham Kawa, one of the top MMA managers who heads First Round Management, suggested a fight between Diaz and Mike Perry, with BKFC or Perry's dirty boxing promotion as potential suitors.

Kawa commented on the above post, writing:

"@platinum Mike Perry in BKFC or @dirtyboxing"
