Diaz has wasted no time stepping back from a recent comment about ‘Do Bronx’.
Although he hasn’t been inside the Octagon since 2022, the Stockton native continues to stay in the conversation around the UFC.
He often weighs in on what’s happening across the promotion, and lately, his attention has turned to Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira at UFC 326.
Diaz had picked Holloway to hold onto his BMF belt in that fight and even went as far as saying he would slap Oliveira. But it didn’t take long for Diaz to walk back those comments.
Nate Diaz issues apology to Charles Oliveira for ‘rude’ comments
Diaz has never been shy about sharing his thoughts or making headlines outside the cage, but this time he admitted he went too far.
He took to social media to explain who his comments were aimed at, and to apologise for making them in the first place.
“I didn’t say I’d slap Max (Holloway), I said that about (Oliveira) but I shouldn’t have said that either it was rude and I was f—d up,” Diaz wrote.
“If we were fighting in a caged match I might attempt it but that was rude I shouldn’t have said that my bad Bruhs all Respecto,” he added.
Nate Diaz hints at return to face UFC 326 winner
Diaz has also recently dropped hints about a potential return to the UFC, with his sights set on another shot at the symbolic BMF title.
The 40-year-old claims he was behind the belt’s creation and says he has unfinished business to take care of by finally winning it.
Posting on X, Diaz wrote: “Let’s not act like I didn’t start a whole division bringing value to all these guys claiming they’re it.”
“I gave opportunity and put notice on the dopest fights I got unfinished business, and I plan on going and taking what’s mine asap 1st to ever start a division and the dopest one at that.
“You’re welcome motherf—ers. I’ll see you soon, I’m coming.”
Diaz previously lost to Jorge Masvidal in the first-ever BMF title fight held at Madison Square Garden back in 2019.
