Nate Diaz called out for bare-knuckle boxing fight ahead of final UFC bout

Nate Diaz has been called out for a bare-knuckle boxing match with Diego Sanchez once he gets out of his UFC contract.

The former lightweight title contender will finally fight his way out of the UFC on September 10 at UFC 279 when he faces Khamzat Chimaev in Las Vegas. And once he is free of his deal, which has kept him exclusive to the promotion for 15 years, there will be a number of suitors willing to pay big money for his services.

And while it is expected Diaz will fight Jake Paul in a boxing match once he is out of his contract, he has also expressed interest in taking on many different disciplines. He has name-checked jiu-jitsu and kickboxing as sports he'd like to pursue, and it's likely a big money offer could sway him to bare-knuckle boxing.
