Following his TKO defeat to Mike Perry at MVP MMA 1, Nate Diaz has addressed speculation about his retirement, firmly stating his intention to continue fighting.
In his recent MMA return, Diaz was significantly outmatched by Mike Perry, dubbed the “King of Violence” in BKFC. The bout, which lasted two rounds, became a grueling affair for Diaz, with his existing scar tissue reopening and causing extensive cuts to his face and above his eyes. The fight was ultimately stopped at the end of the second round after Perry landed a decisive blow and Diaz’s corner intervened to halt the fight due to the severity of his injuries.
The intense physical toll of the fight led many fans to believe that Diaz, at 41 years old, should consider retirement. However, the Stockton native has no intention of stepping away from the sport and has already expressed his willingness to have a rematch with Perry.
Mike Perry also seems open to a second encounter with Diaz, viewing it as a potentially lucrative opportunity.
