Nate Diaz believes he has what he needs to defeat Beral Muhammad in the UFC. Muhammad asks to do something different.
Diaz, who left the UFC after a long octagonal career in 2022, hopes to return to promotions. He names many fighters who want to fight if that happens. One of those fighters was Beral Muhammad.
“I’ll fight the beral ass,” Diaz said, watching Muhammad’s final battle. “I think I beat Beral Muhammad’s sh*t.”
Muhammad, never to be avoided from the war of words, responded quickly. He issued a reply to X and sneaked into the jab of former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor.
You need to be on the same cola as Connor

“He must be on the same cola as Connor,” wrote Muhammad, referring to McGregor’s alleged drug habits. Of course, McGregor was a major rival to Diaz’s career, becoming 1-1 with Stockton, California, the Octagon.
Belal Muhammad last acted at UFC 315 in Montreal, Canada earlier this month. He attempted the first defense of a welterweight title reign in the main event, taking over Australian candidate Jack Della Madalena. It was a rather competitive battle, but Muhammad ultimately lost his belt by decision. After the loss, he will need an impressive victory to win another crack in the belt. The good news is that his next fight is already booked.
With his final Octagon appearance, Nate Diaz defeated Tony Ferguson by decision. The battle was put together with hours of notifications. He was originally set to fight Khamzat Chimaev, but Chechnya missed weight with a large margin, prompting him to shuffle on the cards. Since leaving the UFC, he has two boxing matches, losing first to Jake Paul and then defeating fellow MMA star Jorge Masvidal. Both were decided.
