Nate Diaz knows a thing or two about getting fans hyped for a big event.
Extremely comfortable on the microphone, Diaz has delivered a number of memorable one-liners throughout his fighting career. It’s only natural that in his post-UFC career, he found his way into some voiceover work.
The former UFC star took part in a San Francisco 49ers pregame hype video that was released before Saturday’s Wild Card playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks. It’s a perfect fit considering Diaz hails from Stockton, Calif., which is just over 80 miles to the east of the 49ers’ home at Levi’s Stadium.
Whether you’re a 49ers fan or not, it’s hard not to get excited about the game after watching this promo. It’s also great to see Diaz getting some shine in a big moment like this for such a storied NFL franchise.
