Nate Diaz: I don’t care if I lose to Leon Edwards, ‘I’m still fighting for the title’

Win or lose against Leon Edwards at UFC 263, Nate Diaz believes he is destined for championship success.

The welterweight fan favorite is one of the most popular fighters on the UFC roster and believes he can utilize his star power to leverage a title shot, no matter the outcome this weekend.

Diaz spoke to Rolling Stone earlier this week and explained that, win or lose on Saturday, he is ultimately the one calling the shots and pulling the UFC’s strings.

“History just happens for me, huh?” Diaz, who demanded a five-round fight against Edwards, told Mike Bohn.
