Kamaru Usman, a former UFC champion, expressed skepticism about Nate Diaz's ability to compete for a UFC title due to being past his prime despite his popularity and recent win against Jorge Masvidal. Usman, alongside Henry Cejudo, debated the potential for Diaz to receive a title shot, with Usman emphasizing that Diaz is no longer a world-class fighter and should focus on other lucrative opportunities like fighting Jake Paul or Conor McGregor. Usman highlighted Diaz's durability but dismissed the idea of him bypassing contenders for a title fight, suggesting Diaz consider offers from PFL and Jake Paul instead.
