Nate Diaz has fired back at his critics that have claimed he has CTE.
The Stockton native has had a pretty wild MMA career and is due to take on Jake Paul on August 5th in his first professional boxing contest.
Fans have speculated that Diaz may be suffering with CTE after his long and illustrious MMA career.
Speaking to the Pat McAfee show he said,
“I don’t really be eating punches like they say.
“I bleed because of the forearms and elbows and s—t cut me up but like I said, I’ve been in a boxing gym and it might not look like it but I roll with a lot of these punches that anybody lands on me. I’m not just walking in like a meathead into punches. I’ve never been knocked out. I’ve never even really been f—king stunned stupid or nothing.

“These f—kers are talking about how I talk and I’ve got f—king CTE or some s—t.
“I’m like bro, I’ve been talking this way the whole motherf—king time. It’s got nothing to do with getting hit or none of that. I’m smarter now than ever.”
