Dana White praised Nate Diaz despite his loss against Jake Paul

UFC president Dana White praised Nate Diaz for his fighting spirit at such age that too against an opponent who is younger and faster than him. After the conclusion of Dana White Contender series 57 UFC president shared his thoughts on Nate Diaz and his loss against Jake Paul talking to the reporters on the Saturday night boxing match he told that he is extremely happy for him despite his loss in the match as accepting a match against much higher weight class fighter and putting on a show is commendable.

Nate Diaz after leaving UFC showed up for a boxing match against YouTuber turned professional boxer Jake Paul both fighters fought for ten rounds and Jake Paul was crowned as the winner based on his scores with his latest victory he maintained his undefeated streak against the MMA fighters. Jake Paul earlier fought Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley and won both of them but even after his performance he was not recognized by Dana White during his talk with the reporters as he praised just Nate for showing up and for making the match more interesting.

For a kid pushing 40 years old fighting a guy four weight classes bigger than him in boxing and two in MMA and going the distance at his age against a 20-f*cking-something-year-old kid, so far, he’s fared the best,” White said at the UFC Apex. “He looked good. I’m happy for him.”

I always joke around about dealing with the Diaz Brothers. These two, you see it now. They’re two iconic fighters that 20 years from now everybody will remember and talk about. This will always be Nate’s house. Nate grew up here. He came up on ‘The Ultimate Fighter.’ He fought some of the biggest fights ever here. We love the kid. I don’t know about fighting in the future, but this is always going to be his house. We’ll see
