Nate Diaz's Controversial Remarks Ignite Challenge from BJJ... MMAnytt.com

Nate Diaz, the MMA sensation known for his no-holds-barred approach, recently unleashed a tirade against ONE Championship’s submission grappling ace, Mikey Musumeci. Following a sparring session with the polarizing figure Sneako, Diaz did not mince words, referring to Musumeci with derogatory and homophobic slurs. This outburst comes on the heels of a viral sparring video featuring Sneako and UFC fighter Sean Strickland, where Sneako was soundly defeated.

Musumeci, a multiple-time IBJJF champion, found himself in Sneako’s crosshairs after the streamer disparaged jiu-jitsu and Musumeci’s appearance. Defending his sport, Musumeci offered to settle their dispute in an MMA bout.

Responding to Diaz’s comments, Musumeci extended a dignified invitation for a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) match, showcasing the respectful spirit of martial arts. Despite acknowledging Diaz’s superior MMA skills, Musumeci expressed eagerness for a grappling match between two BJJ black belts. His admiration for the Diaz brothers’ contributions to MMA and grappling was evident, highlighting the clash between Diaz’s controversial statements and the respectful nature of martial arts competition.

“The other little bitch jiu-jitsu guy,” said Nate Diaz. “Fuck that little fag. I forgot about him when I saw it, but I didn’t even give him any attention. Fuck that little bitch.”

“Wow, so I just found out Nate Diaz targeted me, and this is absolutely not the same. This is just me responding to that video,” Musumeci said in a video on his Instagram. “The first thing I want to say is that I’ve always been a huge fan of watching Nick and Nate Diaz in MMA, they are absolute legends. Amazing grappling, amazing striking, and they live that life. Obviously, I can’t fight Nate in an MMA fight. He would kill me, but I would absolutely accept a grappling match with him since we’re both black belts in jiu-jitsu. It would be an honor to have the opportunity to face such a legend as Nate. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, right? I don’t care about weight class or anything, I would be one hundred percent interested in grappling with him.”
