Nate Diaz has unloaded on the top of the UFC’s lightweight division. Following Khabib Nurmagomedov’s UFC 254 win over Justin Gaethje to defend his lightweight title, ’The Eagle’ announced his retirement from the sport. Immediately, many wondered what fight would be booked for the vacant belt.

Dustin Poirier is down to fight Nate Diaz after the Stockton native’s recent comments. After Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier agreed to fight, Diaz was not happy and sent several tweets bashing them while suggesting that he beat them both. For “The Diamond” he doesn’t understand why Diaz thinks he beat him despite the fact they have never actually fought one another.

Khamzat Chimaev (9-0 MMA) is looking to score a fight with UFC Star Nate Diaz (20-12 MMA) on December 19 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Nate Diaz has shared his thoughts on a potential rematch between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. McGregor and Poirier first met in the featherweight division in 2014, with McGregor winning that fight by first-round TKO. Since then, however, both men have achieved massive success in the lightweight division, and both have recently expressed interest in a rematch.

UFC lightweight standout Dan Hooker has called out former division title challenger Nate Diaz following some recent compliments from the Stockton native. Earlier this week Diaz (20-12 MMA) had taken to Twitter where he shared the following video of Hooker’s 2018 first round knockout victory over Gilbert Burns which occurred at lightweight.

Gilbert Burns has responded to Nate Diaz after the Stockton native insinuated that Dan Hooker is currently the welterweight divisions top contender. While Hooker (20-9 MMA) is undoubtedly a great fighter, ‘The Hangman’ currently competes at lightweight and thus is not even in the conversation for a title shot at 170-pounds.

Chris Taylor - October 10, 2020

Former UFC title challenger Nate Diaz took to social media this evening where he proclaimed Dan Hooker as the “number welterweight right now”. While Hooker (20-9 MMA) is undoubtedly a great fighter, he currently is not in the conversation for title contention at 170-pounds.

Former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier is hoping the promotion will book a fight between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington next. Masvidal has recently been linked to a high-profile rematch with Nate Diaz, targeted for early 2021. However, that potential booking has not been overly popular, as Masvidal defeated Diaz fairly decisively when they fought for the BMF title in 2019.

Red-hot UFC welterweight prospect Khamzat Chimaev is hoping for fights with Nick and Nate Diaz in the future—fights he views as “easy money.” Chimaev is currently scheduled to take on Gerald Meerschaert at UFC Vegas 11 on September 19. In a rare situation that is wholly indicative of his massive potential, UFC President Dana White has already laid out plans to match Chimaev up with Demian Maia thereafter—much to Meerschaert’s chagrin.

UFC welterweight contender Leon Edwards has issued a searing response to a recent dig from fellow welterweight star Nate Diaz. Earlier this week, Birmingham’s Edwards took a shot at fellow welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal, who he was involved in a backstage brawl with in 2019, but has yet to meet in the Octagon—despite his best efforts.

Cole Shelton - September 7, 2020

Nate Diaz is not a fan of Leon Edwards or Khabib Nurmagomedov and he made that clear on social media. Diaz and Nurmagomedov have had a feud for quite some time and Diaz even slapped Nurmagomedov backstage at an event. Yet, this feud with Edwards only came up when the Englishman took a shot at the welterweight division and Jorge Masvidal.

Harry Kettle - August 20, 2020

UFC lightweight contender Dustin Poirier has shown interest in potentially fighting Tony Ferguson or Nate Diaz in his next bout. While Poirier may have come up short in his attempt to capture the UFC Lightweight Championship against Khabib Nurmagomedov last year, he was able to bounce back in a big way back in June when he scored a unanimous decision victory over one of the division’s rising stars Dan Hooker.

Natasha Hooper - August 4, 2020

Nate Diaz has a message for his former opponent Conor McGregor: “sit your ass down” until 2021. Conor McGregor announced his retirement from the sport earlier this year. UFC president Dana White is convinced that he will return to the Octagon at some point but doesn’t believe it will be any time this year.

Tom Taylor - August 3, 2020

Conor McGregor says he would have finished Nate Diaz in their first fight if he hadn’t chose to refrain from unleashing a “horribly nasty” kick. McGregor and Diaz first met in March of 2016, when Diaz stepped in on 11 days’ notice to replace the Irishman’s originally slated opponent Rafael dos Anjos, who was then the UFC lightweight champion.

Vicente Luque feels Nate Diaz is the perfect option for his next opponent. The welterweight prospect put on a striking clinic against Randy Brown at UFC Vegas 5 on Saturday, and sealed the TKO win in the second round. Immediately after claiming his second consecutive UFC win, he explained why he wants to fight Nate Diaz next.

Christopher Taylor - July 12, 2020

Former two-division champion Conor McGregor was not happy with Nate Diaz proclaiming that Max Holloway was “robbed” at UFC 251. Holloway squared off with Alex Volkanovski in last night’s co-headliner, serving as a rematch from their initial confrontation at UFC 245.

Adam Martin - July 12, 2020

UFC welterweight superstar Nate Diaz says that Max Holloway “was robbed” by the judges in his loss to Alex Volkanovski in the co-main event of UFC 251. Volkanovski won a controversial split decision over Holloway to retain the UFC featherweight championship with scores of 47-48, 48-47, and 48-47. Many fans, media, and fellow fighters thought that Volkanovski had done enough to win the fight, not to mention UFC president Dana White, but two of the three people that truly matter when it comes to handing down the decision believed that Volkanovski deserved the win.
