Nate Diaz is known for his religious boxing and BJJ training. Interestingly, over the years, both Nate and his brother Nick have known to accord more time and effort to boxing & BJJ training than wrestling.

That, in turn, has resulted in the Diaz brothers often getting out-wrestled when matched up against fighters with a good wrestling pedigree. In light of the same, it’s intriguing how Nate Diaz seems to be training with a few top-notch wrestlers as of late.

This rumor is one that could potentially turn into something huge, as Nate’s next fight is guaranteed to be a high-profile showdown. And considering his engagement in serious wrestling training, experts believe that he may indeed end up challenging UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley—one of the best MMA wrestlers today—for the belt very soon.
