Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) president David Feldman has insisted that talks are going "great" with Nate Diaz about his potential move to the sport.
UFC legend Diaz, 37, parted ways with the promotion in September having spent 15 years competing for the organisation, submitting fellow veteran Tony Ferguson in his final fight. As a free agent, Diaz has been linked with a fight against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul but is seemingly in discussions with leading bare-knuckle boxing promotion BKFC.
"Talks are great with Nate Diaz. We're going to have an answer here in the next week or two, but great talks with his management team," Feldman told The Schmo. "The offer is a very, very legitimate and a good offer for him. I think better than he's got anywhere else. So, I'm not saying he's definitely coming, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some of his blood on this canvas one day.
