“There’s a guy named Josh Neer. He’s a real tough bastard. We fought each other, and now Josh is my buddy. By the way, he also fought Nick. They had a three-round brawl. I remember at one moment I thought about him: ‘That crazy guy is insane.’ Then, when I was fighting, I asked the matchmakers for the toughest opponent. They gave me Josh. And the fight with him turned out to be the toughest of my career.
I watched many of his fights and trained hard to counter him on time. But Josh just parried all my actions in the fight. We put on a great fight,” Diaz’s words are quoted by the Bloody Elbow portal.
