Brendan Schaub Says Nate Diaz Won’t Enter UFC Hall of Fame on Individual Merit

Schaub frames the Diaz–Cormier feud as a question of fame versus achievement in how the UFC defines legacy.

Overview

  • Brendan Schaub said Nate Diaz will never make the UFC Hall of Fame as an individual and argued only a single Diaz fight might be honored.
  • He defended analyst Daniel Cormier as "MMA royalty" and said Diaz picked the wrong target with his recent broadside at the former champion.
  • Schaub drew a line between being famous and being accomplished, noting Diaz never won a UFC title despite his popularity.
  • He added that Diaz, now 40, is pursuing non‑traditional bouts and is reported by BJPenn.com to face Mike Perry on a May 16 Most Valuable Promotions card streaming on Netflix.
  • The UFC Hall of Fame recognizes both careers and specific bouts, which is why Schaub pointed to a Diaz–Conor McGregor fight as his most likely route to enshrinement.
