Ben Askren Challenges Nate Diaz’s Standing, Calling His Record ‘Average’

Cormier later agreed the 16-12 UFC mark 'is not good'.

Overview

  • Speaking on Daniel Cormier’s YouTube channel, Askren said Diaz “isn’t that good” and “convinced people he’s good at fighting.”
  • Askren pointed to Diaz’s 21-13 overall record and 16-12 UFC record, adding that the “Diaz Army” would attack his critique.
  • Reports highlight that Diaz’s mainstream profile surged through two fights with Conor McGregor and a BMF title bout with Jorge Masvidal.
  • Diaz never won a UFC championship and is 1-1 in boxing since leaving the UFC, with a loss to Jake Paul and a win over Masvidal.
  • The commentary frames Diaz’s legacy as a debate over star power versus results rather than a new development in his fight record.
