Boxing champion Canelo Alvarez throws support behind Nate Diaz before UFC 202

Published Nov. 15, 2016 2:14 p.m. ET

Add boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez to list of people who won’t be surprised if Nate Diaz takes care of Conor McGregor on Saturday night.

Alvarez was pictured wearing a shirt that featured Diaz famous “I’m not surprised, (expletive)” quote from his UFC 196 victory over McGregor, where he earned a second-round submission. Alvarez also spoke to FightHype recently and said that that he believes the fight will play out largely the same as the fight time.

“It’s going to be a fight that obviously has been fascinating and interesting. We know the first fight Nate Diaz won. Personally, I think the same thing will happen again. But it will be a good fight.”

We’ll see tonight if Diaz can earn another win over McGregor, but he has the support of one of the biggest stars in all of combat sports.
