Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight No. 1 contender, Colby Covington, has been putting the rest of the 170-pound division on blast, including the resurgent Nate Diaz, who cracked the Top 10 with his commanding performance against Anthony Pettis at UFC 241 earlier this month in Anaheim.
But since “Chaos” is an equal opportunity ass kicker, he’s extended his callout to the “Diaz sisters.” That includes Nate’s older brother Nick, who decided the prime of his mixed martial arts (MMA) career was better spent talking to the media outside of local night clubs.
“I’m not gonna sit here and call the man a liar, I never heard about it, I just found out,” Diaz told TMZ Sports about Covington’s yapping. “If you wanna fight, you know where to find me. I’m not a hard guy to find. Step in my motherfucking range right here. Come at me, bro.”
Anyone who wants to put hands on Diaz (26-9, 2 NC) can forget about doing it inside the Octagon. The former Strikeforce welterweight champion, now 36, hasn’t competed in over four years and hasn’t notched a win since late 2011, giving further credence to this report.
As for Covington, he’s expected to fight Kamaru Usman for the 170-pound title at the upcoming UFC 244 pay-per-view (PPV) event this November in New York City. For much more on that upcoming showdown click here.
