Nate Diaz trolled the UFC supremo Dana White for offering him a fight with the undefeated UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev.
Khamzat Chimaev is the talk of the town following his dominant win at UFC 267. Ever since then, combat sports fans are wondering what’s next for Chimaev. Interestingly, the latter is ready to take on any fighter and has also shared a few names, including Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal, in a post-fight interview.
However, the Stockton slugger seems disinterested in facing the Swedish fighter. The UFC president shared in an interview that he was interested in Diaz vs Chimaev and claimed to have talked to Diaz about the fight.

However, the Stockton native shot down White’s idea by cutting the clip of his interview and adding a meme to it. Later, Diaz posted it on his Instagram stories tagging the UFC kingpin. A Twitter user later posted the video.
Even though Nate Diaz will fight one more time inside the UFC octagon, it won’t be against Khamzat Chimaev. Hence, the hype for the Diaz vs Chimaev came to an end after he declined the offer.
What Is Next for Nate Diaz
After a long hiatus from fighting the fan-favorite, Nate Diaz made a return to the octagon at UFC 263. He faced the welterweight fighter Leon Edwards inside the cage. Even though the Stockton slugger lost the five-round battle, he brought their fans to their feet.
