In a recent video, Nate Diaz didn't hold back on his feelings about Khabib Nurmagomedov's fighting style. The UFC star voiced his disdain, stating, "I don't like it like the wrestling, like just taking them down. Yeah, that's cool, whatever, that's how you fight, right? But the style of fighter in general, he's not a real fighter."

Diaz made it clear that his preference lies with fighters who engage in what he considers "real fights." He emphasized, "I'm a real fighter. I like real fighters, real fight for real." His criticism didn't stop at Khabib; he also mentioned another fighter, DC, implying that both lack the qualities he values in a true fighter.

He questioned Khabib's record, pointing out, "How many fights does Khabib have? I think 29. You fought three ranked opponents and then beat two guys as a champion, and then those guys got beat the same way in their next fights."

Nate Diaz's comments have sparked discussions among MMA fans, with many debating the validity of his claims. Some agree with Diaz, believing Khabib's record lacks significant challenges, while others defend Khabib's status as one of the greatest fighters in MMA history.
