UFC President Dana White has clarified that he holds no animosity towards former UFC star Nate Diaz following Diaz’s recent signing and fight with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP).
White explicitly stated there’s “no beef” between them regarding Diaz’s venture into boxing with MVP. Recalling a pleasant encounter, White remarked, “We had a good time,” indicating a cordial relationship despite Diaz’s move to a different promotional sphere.
This statement comes amidst speculation regarding White’s stance on former UFC talent venturing into other promotions, especially given the high-profile nature of MVP and its association with Jake Paul, a frequent critic of the UFC.
Diaz, a long-time fan favorite known for his independent spirit and willingness to forge his own path, recently made his professional boxing debut under the MVP banner against Jake Paul. White’s comments suggest a professional respect for Diaz’s post-UFC career path, emphasizing that their past relationship remains positive despite the transition into a competing sport and promotion.
