Nate Diaz Trolls Ilia Topuria by Calling Him a “Punching Bag” After UFC Freedom 250 Beating
Nate Diaz targets Ilia Topuria and calls him a punching bag after the beating taken by the Spaniard at UFC Freedom 250 back in June.
Former UFC lightweight champion Nate Diaz criticized his opponent Ilia Topuria, calling him a "punching bag" after Topuria made a similar remark about Diaz during their bout at MVP MMA 1. The exchange occurred following Diaz's loss via cut stoppage to Justin Gaethje at UFC Freedom 250. Diaz expressed his disinterest in the rematch, stating that Topuria was "lame" and a "punching bag" for making derogatory comments about him.
When asked about his interest in fighting for Ki MMA, Diaz confirmed his eagerness to compete, particularly in a ring-based environment, and indicated that he plans to remain active until January, with aspirations to secure at least two fights in the upcoming year.
