Nate Diaz has been tipped to consider a WWE move after seeing out his UFC contract by submitting Tony Ferguson earlier this month.
Diaz, 37, submitted Ferguson in their fight at UFC 279 after his original opponent Khamzat Chimaev missed weight by 7.5lb. After a 15-year stint in the UFC, Diaz is now free to leave the promotion as his win against Ferguson marked the last fight on his contract. Diaz hinted at a move to boxing by taking a dig at Conor McGregor's loss to Floyd Mayweather in 2017, insisting that he will do what McGregor couldn't in "taking over" another sport.
Former two-weight UFC champion Henry Cejudo has backed Diaz to make a name for himself in the WWE after Diaz was pictured alongside the organisation's Chief Content Officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque and his wife Stephanie McMahon. Cejudo claimed Diaz is hoping "to dabble into WWE" after seeing out his UFC contract.
