Nate Diaz running around with Cork GAA natives

Michael Corry

To many people, Nate Diaz is thought of as an enemy of Irish MMA, the man who choked out McGregor and broke the hearts of his fans all around the world in the process.

His victory over The Notorious turned out to be very lucrative for the Stockton-born martial artist. A second fight followed, where he dropped a close majority decision, and now fans wait patiently in the hope that the rivalry will be closed out with a trilogy fight.

Of course, there is business to get out of the way in the meantime as McGregor faces possibly his biggest challenge to date in the form of Khabib Nurmagomedov, whilst Diaz has agreed to fight Dustin Poirier at Madison Square Garden in November.

Diaz has his beef with McGregor but that doesn’t extend to every Irish person as a result.

Dosbrak is a digital artist who creates canvas prints that are very much unique. He has created various images of Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz and UFC commentator Joe Rogan. He recently visited SBG headquarters in Dublin to present John Kavanagh with some of his work.

Despite public praise from Joe Rogan in the past, not much is known about the artist, apart form the fact that he is Irish.

Now a photo has emerged of the Irish artist side by side with Diaz, wearing the famous red of Cork.

You’d only hope that Diaz was brought up to speed with the current state of Cork football, or the hurlers heroic defeat in last weekend’s All-Ireland semi-final and, most importantly, how the county board has a hell of a lot to answer for.

The Irish man posed with Diaz and the work he has lined up has to be exciting.

Another photo of the pair earlier in the summer, with the Irish artist is wearing a GAA club jersey.

And the jersey, no less, belongs to Kiskeam GAA, a small club in north Cork. Maybe Diaz could be the answer to the problems that have blighted Cork football this past few years.

We reckon he would make a great full-forward.
