Nick Diaz fought last at UFC 266. Diaz fought Robbie Lawler in a losing effort and has not fought since then. Since the Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz fight, Nick has stayed away from the limelight. He also had a cardio session with Derrick Lewis. The absence away from the limelight made his recent appearance even more shocking.
A recent post on X (forwarded from an IG account story) showed Nick sporting a full beard. This has taken the MMA community by storm. The caption quippingly went – “Nick Diaz has moved to Dagestan.” A few others have concurrently compared his resemblance to actor Jason Momoa and fighter Tai Tuivasa.
In his prime, Diaz put on exciting fights. His trash-talk, attitude, and cardio impressed many fight fans. He was the last welterweight champion of Strikeforce before the UFC acquired it. In recent times, fans have considered Nate to be the better MMA star. However, experts like Joe Rogan disagree with that notion. Though Nate had a longer run as a superstar, Nick was the better fighter and the more accomplished Diaz brother. Rogan showered immense praise for Nick.
Funnily and coincidentally though, Tai Tuivasa’s weed-fueled IG Live had recently earned him the comparison of “fat Nick Diaz.” What goes around comes around, supposedly. The fans’ comments about Nick moving to Dagestan have captured fan attention on X.
Fans react to fighter Nick Diaz sporting a full beard
It’s not every day a fighter becomes larger than the essence of combat sports itself. But before Conor McGregor or Jon Jones, other names held that sentiment. Anderson Silva, Georges St-Pierre, and Nick Diaz belong to the pioneer class of MMA. Diaz’s recent image has fans going wild on social media.
He went viral for sporting a full set of facial hair. Fans felt it somewhat resembled Jason Momoa and Tai Tuivasa. Check out how fans reacted to the image:
Accordingly, many fans have hilariously commented on Diaz transitioning to Dagestan. Dagestani fighters are prone to combat Sambo techniques and hard rigor and are famed for their facial hair, albeit the lack of a mustache. A few have even quipped at the appearance with made-up Dagestani monikers and how Diaz looks like other celebrities or fighters, including Tai Tuivasa.
