Former UFC lightweight title challenger Nate Diaz gave a fan a pair of autographed gloves. Diaz also threw in a few hands and a takedown against the fan for good measure.
Nate Diaz ‘Fights’ Fan
A brief spar went down between Nate Diaz and a fan after the UFC star was stopped in the street. The UFC title challenger was asked to sign some gloves by a fan. Diaz agreed, but only if the fan agreed to meet him in honourable combat.

The fan who faced Diaz appeared to be inspired by Shara Magomedov‘s recent double-back fist knockout. This is due to the fan attempting the manoeuvre not once but twice in the clip, much to Nate Diaz’s amusement. Nate is all smiles as he playfully swipes at the fan before later taking the fight down to the ground.
Nate Diaz is then seen mimicking some vicious ground-and-pound strikes before helping the fan up and presumably accommodating to the autograph request.
Moving His Talents Over to the Boxing Ring
Nate Diaz has not been seen inside the UFC octagon since 2022. This was when the former UFC title challenger was able to defeat Tony Ferguson. This was in the main event of UFC 279 and brought Nate back into the win column.
Since that fight, Diaz has moved over to the boxing world. He first started with a unanimous decision defeat to Jake Paul. After that fight, he would then go and face off against Jorge Masvidal. Masvidal was able to get the victory the first time around in the UFC however, it would be Nate Diaz would come out victorious this time around.
Nate Diaz has not said no to ever returning to the UFC and we will wait and see what the future holds for the former title challenger. Currently, Diaz does not have a fight book so we will wait and see if he books another fight in the boxing ring or in an MMA octagon.
