It seems there’s some tension brewing between UFC legend brothers Nate and Nick Diaz, as the elder Diaz expressed on social media.
Former UFC superstars Nick Diaz and his younger brother, Nate, are important pieces in the history of Mixed Martial Arts. Nick and Nate are often simpatico in and out of their careers, cornering each other during many of their biggest fights.
Since an attempted comeback fight in 2024, Nick has concerned many of his loyal fans and followers with some of his behavior outside of fighting. Luckily, Nick seems to be on the right track, as he was seen sparring with longtime teammate Jake Shields and appearing in good spirits.
Nick and Nate often praise each other in media interviews, with Nate calling Nick the ‘greatest fighter ever’. Despite their strong bond, it appears things are at an impasse between the two Stockton stars.
Family feud? Nick Diaz calls out ’embarrassing’ brother Nate Diaz on social media
In a since-deleted tweet, Nick shared an ominous message to his followers and directly called out his brother, Nate.
“To everyone talking about my life and how they want to control me you never will again,” Nick said.
“I was locked up for over a year and the ones I thought closest to me kept me there for their own motives. That old man who keeps claiming to have my best interests and is the spokesman for my family should be discredited. Everything he says is bs and I don’t want to hear it anymore. From someone trying to hold me down with negativity and all those YouTubers on his side are scammers starting s— for views.
“My circle is small now because of them, and I see now why it is that way,” Nick continued. “For my brother Nate I don’t know what his issue is but you need to cut out the s— talkers in your group to keep it real they are embarrassing to be around. Everyone, enjoy your lives, be positive, and enjoy your freedom.” (h/t Bloody Elbow)
