Nate Diaz var bort under 3 års tid efter förlusten i returmatchen mot Conor McGregor, men imponerade stort när han återvände under UFC 241 förra helgen och dominerade forne lättviktsmästaren Anthony Pettis.
Den forne welterviktsmästaren och mellanviktsmästaren Georges St-Pierre hyllar nu Diaz för sin genuina stil och berättar varför han känner att fansen älskar honom.

He’s an amazing character because he is so authentic. He doesn’t care about what he says, very authentic guy.Now is the Conor McGregor era, and you see a lot of guys that try to mimic other guys that are more successful, in terms of their platform. They want it to become bigger. And it doesn’t work for a lot of them because they’re not authentic, but Nate Diaz is very authentic. He is a unique person and a unique character. That’s why people love him so much.
St-Pierre var också imponerad av Diaz prestation i sin comeback:
What a comeback. After three years, I was not expecting that. I think he looked better than he ever did. It was amazing.
Diaz utmanade efter mötet Jorge Masvidal som senast segrade mot Ben Askren via knockout under UFC 239.
