UFC star Nate Diaz has shared his thoughts on this Saturday’s boxing match between Floyd “Money” Mayweather and UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor.
While appearing on the Against All Odds with Cousin Sal podcast, Diaz admitted that McGregor has a chance at pulling off the upset.
“I think he has a great chance,” Diaz said.
“I fought Conor for 25 minutes, I believe he’s definitely going to have a chance. Fighting and beating the best boxer pound for pound in the world right now? That’s another story but a fight’s a fight and we’re going to have to watch and see what happens. Hopefully, it will be a hell of a fight.”
Diaz then went on to say that he wasn’t on either Mayweather’s or McGregor’s side, and definitely wasn’t on the side of the UFC going into Saturday’s fight between Mayweather and McGregor.
“It’s crazy because I’m not on the MMA side. I won’t tell you I’m on Floyd’s side or Conor’s side but I’ll tell you whose side I’m not on, I’m definitely not on the UFC’s side, you know what I’m saying?” Diaz said.
“The boxers, every (expletive) pro boxer is saying something and all this criticism, and I think it’s a better option is to keep your opinion out of it.”
