Nate Diaz sent a warning to comedians on the latest episode of Kill Tony.
The former UFC superstar is friends with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who happens to run one of the biggest podcasts on the planet, ‘Kill Tony’.
Hinchcliffe, a massive UFC fan, roasted the likes of NFL ‘GOAT’ Tom Brady alongside UFC CEO Dana White on Netflix last year.
The streaming giant brought Hinchcliffe back for more live comedy shows, one that had Nate Diaz front and center after the roar of the ‘West Hollywood bear’.
Nate Diaz speaks up on stage at ‘Kill Tony’
Diaz got quite the reception from the Kill Tony fans at Madison Square Garden.
Hinchcliffe started off the show by explaining how the rules work and how comedians only get one minute for their stand-up set.
“They get pulled out of this bucket, they get one minute uninterrupted. You know their set is up when you hear the sound of a kitten. That means they have to wrap it up then or else they bring out the angry, West Hollywood bear, which has always been with us…”
Stockton’s Diaz arrived on this cue, hearing a roar of a bear and then the roar of the fans.
“Nate Diaz, the master of the Stockton slap,” Hinchcliffe introduced the 27-fight UFC veteran on Netflix.
“UFC, future hall of famer. One of the kings of California…
“If bucket pulls [comedians] go over their minute, they get slapped across the face by Nate Diaz tonight,” Hinchcliffe joked.
“Nate, step up to the mic. How does it make you feel when comedians go over their allotted time?”
Diaz answered.
“When it’s time to go, get the f— off the stage!”
Nate Diaz is likely a shoo-in for UFC Hall of Fame
While Diaz never won a UFC belt, there’s no denying what the former title challenger did for the sport.
Diaz turned in one of the most iconic moments in MMA history when he tapped out Conor McGregor on short notice at UFC 196 back in 2016.
Diaz’s five-round rematch with McGregor at UFC 202 was a ‘fight of the year’ contender. Both his fights with McGregor broke pay-per-view records by doing over a million buys.
Without Diaz, there likely wouldn’t have been a BMF belt, which has been passed down from rival Jorge Masvidal to Justin Gaethje to Max Holloway.
Diaz has wins over McGregor, Tony Ferguson, Anthony Pettis, Michael Johnson and Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone. The 40-year-old might not have the cleanest record in MMA at 21-13 but Diaz could be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame for his impact alone.
