Nate Diaz Slams Charles Oliveira: "I'd Beat the Sh*t Out of Him"

UFC icon Nate Diaz has once again aimed sharp criticism at Charles Oliveira, the current holder of the BMF title. Diaz expressed significant displeasure with Oliveira's grappling-focused strategy during his UFC 326 victory over Max Holloway, which saw him crowned BMF champion.

Following Oliveira's win, Diaz took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), labeling the fighters "Boring Mother F**kers." He also issued a broader warning to Oliveira, Max Holloway, Ilia Topuria, Conor McGregor, and others, stating, "Don’t try and be me."

Diaz, who played a pivotal role in the creation of the BMF title, has never held the belt himself. However, the Stockton native continues to express a strong desire to return to the UFC and claim what he believes is rightfully his.

In a recent interview, Diaz didn't hold back, asserting his belief that he would "beat the sh*t out of" Charles Oliveira. He reinforced his confidence by pointing to his past victories over fighters who have defeated Oliveira. "People I beat beat him," Diaz stated, recalling how he beat Anthony Pettis (who choked Oliveira) and Donald Cerrone (who "punked" Oliveira). Diaz continued, "He’s walking around with my belt, though." He also mentioned that when Oliveira previously held a title, he was open to fighting him, but Oliveira declined.

Diaz further lambasted the Brazilian for showing interest in a fight with Conor McGregor, who has suffered two consecutive losses and has been absent from the octagon for nearly five years. Diaz recounted, "I put a tweet out like I’ll fight him, and then he put a tweet out like no thanks, homie, I’m trying to fight for big stuff, world championships, and this that." He continued, "A little while later, after Conor breaks his leg all up and gets knocked out all over the place, this fool is like I’ll fight Conor McGregor and I’m like I thought you were on to bigger and better things. You’re picking on people who are on the downfall."
