During his recent interview with Submission Radio, Stephen Thompson claimed fans made their presence known at UFC 263 only because of Diaz, who can draw a crowd like no one else.
Stephen Thompson added that Diaz is special because of his incredible antics. ‘Wonderboy’ mentioned that the Stockton native is loved for his taunting in between fights and named a few other aspects that make him such an exciting fighter.
The UFC welterweight contender concluded by saying that Diaz walked out with more fans on the night, compared to Edwards, who won the fight.
Stephen Thompson also believes Nate Diaz should drop back down to lightweight
Stephen Thompson thinks Nate Diaz is better suited to be a lightweight and should go back down to 155. During the same interview, ‘Wonderboy’ claimed that Diaz is taller than other lightweight fighters and 155 is the division he should be fighting in.
Thompson himself remains a top contender at 170 and will return to action at UFC 264 in the co-main event of the PPV against Gilbert Burns. The winner of the bout could receive a future title shot after Kamaru Usman vs. Colby Covington 2.
