Nate Diaz put on a show in the final minute of his loss to Leon Edwards at UFC 263 on Saturday as he nearly pulled off an incredible comeback victory with a number of strikes that left Edwards dazed.
It didn’t prove to be enough, though, as Edwards was able to stay on his feet and got a little bit saved by the bell before having his arm lifted in victory via a unanimous decision.
It was a classic Diaz performance that left him the big winner of the night even though he lost the fight.
After the fight Diaz gave Edwards some good advice about his career moving forward. Diaz has always made sure he gets paid what he’s worth by the UFC and has sat out for long stretches when he didn’t think their offers were enough.
He wanted to make sure Edwards took that seriously, too.
There is some bad language in this tweet so if that’s not your thing then run for the hills.
Nate told me after the fight “don’t let these motherfuckers tell you ain’t shit name your price or they will name it for you” and I felt that
