Nate Diaz Apologizes to Charles Oliveira, Clarifies He Never Said He’d Slap Max Holloway
Nate Diaz, who has “unfinished business” in the UFC, recently teased a comeback. He also took unprovoked digs at Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira, for which the 40-year-old has now apologized.
First things first. Nate Diaz was the one who originally pitched the idea of the BMF belt. He also became one of the first fighters to compete for it against Jorge Masvidal, but never got a chance to claim it.
The Stockton native, who last entered the octagon in 2022, most recently teased a return to claim the UFC BMF championship that he believes is rightfully his.
However, Max Holloway currently holds what Diaz desires and will defend it at UFC 326 against Charles Oliveira in a rematch.
During a recent interview with Clocked N’ Loaded, when Diaz was asked to weigh in on the UFC 326 headliner, he quipped:
“I like Max. I’ll slap the sh*t out of him.”
Diaz also added that the White House Card would be perfect for his comeback.
“White House would be perfect.”

Nate Diaz issues apology
In Nate Diaz’s above comments, it was not clear if he wanted to “slap the sh*t out of” Max Holloway or Charles Oliveira. To clarify the same, and to squash the beef, which he started, Diaz posted on X:
“I didn’t say I’d slap Max Holloway; I said that about [Charles] Oliveira.”
He then admitted that he should not have made those comments:
“I shouldn’t have said that either it was rude and I was fd up”
Diaz showed respect and clarified what he actually meant when he previously said he would try to slap “Do Bronxs.”
“If we were fighting in a caged match, I might attempt it, but that was rude. I shouldn’t have said that, my bad Bruhs all Respecto 👊🏼”
