Nate Diaz is back.
After a long three year lay off, Diaz impressively beat down UFC veteran Anthony Pettis in a three round war.

After the fight, Nate sat down with the media and delivered one of the best post-fight press conferences in recent memory.
Not only did he mock the rest of the UFC roster with his answer about fatherhood.
Nate Diaz on if fatherhood has changed him,
"I been a father for years. Fatherin’ all kinds of these little motherfuckers" 🤣
Nate Diaz is the best.

But he also clowned top welterweight contender Colby Colvington when he was asked if he was down to fight him.
"Colby Covington was over there…"
"Who is he? What weight?"
"Welterweight…"
"I don't know who that is."

Nate, however, was very complimentary of Jorge Masvidal and says he wants to defend his title as “baddest motherfucker in the game” against him.
Raise your hand if you want Jorge Masvidal vs. Nate Diaz next. 🙋♂️ 🙋♀️
"We're fighting for the baddest motherf**ker in the game belt."
