McGregor Says He’ll Fight Khamzat Chimaev If “B*tch” Nate Diaz Won’t

Conor McGregor has implied that he’d have “no problem” fighting Khamzat Chimaev if Nate Diaz won’t.

Khamzat Chimaev has been on a call-out rampage ever since smeshing Li Jingliang at UFC 267 in October. The man has even called out Brock Lesnar and Georges St-Pierre for crying out loud. However, there is one call-out of a legendary fighter that was as realistic as it gets, Nate Diaz.

While that pairing was dismissed by some critics, the very fact that Dana White endorsed the idea shows that it was only one piece away from being complete. That piece, of course, was Nate Diaz himself, who emphatically rejected the fight this week.

Following Diaz’s rejection, Chimaev mocked both Nate and his older brother Nick, and now Nate Diaz has decided to help Borz out and play matchmaker for him as well as an old rival:

“Let him fight kamrat that be a great fight to make He needs a easy new guy to fight anyway he can taper back in and see if he can even still fight at all Great idea Nate Thanks.”

Plot Twist: McGregor Approves Nate Diaz’s Matchmaking Idea

Full transcript Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather Toronto press conference, boxing

Within the hour of Nate Diaz’s matchmaking proposal, Conor McGregor would respond, implying that he’d have no problem taking on Borz even though Diaz wouldn’t.

“No problem, bitch” McGregor posted in response to Diaz.

Diaz would then hit back immediately after McGregor’s snappy reply.

“Good job do what ur told BITCH”

McGregor would then respond referencing a line used against Diaz in an old exchange between the two, where McGregor requested Diaz go fetch him his coffee.

“Two sugars,” said McGregor.

It should come as no surprise that Conor McGregor was among the plethora of names that Borz has called out in recent weeks. To be precise, he proposed that they make a “big drama show.”

Should McGregor’s Twitter acceptance actually take fruit in a McGregor/Chimaev booking, then a drama show is what we would have indeed: on Twitter, in the press conference, and certainly in the climactic Octagon finale.

Do you think Conor McGregor is really down to fight Khamzat Chimaev?

Tom Aspinall Blown Away By Khamzat Chimaev And His Training

UFC heavyweight Tom Aspinall isn’t one to mince words, but watching Khamzat Chimaev train had him in awe.

Chimaev and Aspinall will likely never compete against one another in the Octagon, but Aspinall was shocked watching Chimaev train while both of them were on a recent Fight Island card.

Chimaev is undefeated in his professional MMA career and is coming off arguably the most impressive performance of his time in the UFC against Li Jingliang. At UFC 267, Chimaev rag-dolled Jingliang and earned a first-round finish on the ground.

During a recent interview on Michael Bisping’s “Believe You Me” podcast, Aspinall told a story about getting to see Chimaev in action from up close.

“You can’t really avoid them at this point,” Aspinall said of Chimaev. “I mean, he’s everywhere. He’s a scary guy from what I’ve seen. He actually made his debut, I believe, on the same card as me. Or I was on the same card as him in Abu Dhabi. He was warming up with [Alexander] Gustafsson. Obviously, Gustafsson is a much bigger guy physically than Chimaev and the guy was just launching him all over the place.”

Khamzat Chimaev Has Recently Called For Fights With Top Contenders

Assuming that Aspinall’s story is true, that’s a terrifying thought for Chimaev’s possible next opponents. Chimaev has competed at welterweight and middleweight during his UFC career and has won with relative ease so far.

Chimaev has remained active on social media since his win at UFC 267. He’s called out Nate Diaz for a fight, but it sounds like Diaz doesn’t want to fight him with his relatively limited experience.

Chimaev could be on the fast track to a title shot in the UFC, and it seems like his star power is just starting to come to the surface.

Khamzat Chimaev Fires Back At ‘Fake Gangster’ Nate Diaz

Nate Diaz recently categorically ruled himself out of a fight with “rookie” Khamzat Chimaev and claimed it was disrespectful to suggest he faces off against someone with just four fights in the UFC.

“They’re coming at me with (Chimaev) and I’m like, ‘Hold on, don’t disrespect me like that, trying to offer me a fight with a rookie,’” Diaz told TMZ Sports. “I’m cool. You got four fights in the UFC. Don’t even talk my name. There are levels to this and I don’t even want to hear his name.”

“I’m trying to fight somebody in the UFC, like ASAP, but nobody wants to fight,” Diaz continued. “I’ve been trying to get somebody for a minute. Anybody in the top 10 I’ve been trying to fight, in any weight division, whoever want it. But they all want to keep their mouths shut cause they are all scared.”

Khamzat Chimaev Got Wind Of Diaz’s Comments & Hit Back

The 27-year-old didn’t take kindly to Diaz dismissing him and subsequently jumped on social media to rip the UFC fan favourite.

“you are the easiest money for me thin @NateDiaz209,” Chiamev wrote on Twitter.

“You fake gangster @NateDiaz209 and I don’t care who to fight i’m coming for everybody, where are you all the gangsters and kings ? i’m here to kill everyone i’m the king here i’m a gangster here,” Chimaev added.

The Swedish fighter then turned his attention to Nick Diaz, he wrote.

“say hello to your older brother, tell him not to be afraid of me, I don’t beat old people, he knows what I mean, in Vegas I just wanted to say hello well, poor man ran away @NateDiaz209”

Chimaev ended his Twitter tirade by posting a cartoon of a bulldozer scooping up chickens and a meme of him eating a heart which was directed at Colby Covington.

Khamzat Chimaev is questioning the Diaz brothers’ gangster.

Khamzat Chimaev has reacted swiftly to Nate Diaz’s public rejection of a bout between the two. Chimaev is on pace to setting UFC call-out records, if they haven’t already been broken. Among the names Borz has wanted to smesh are both of the Diaz brothers.

Earlier this year, Chimaev challenged Nick Diaz to a fight prior to Diaz’s eventual return to the Octagon. And more recently, he has been hounding the younger Diaz brother, Nate, for a fight, even bringing an AK into the conversation. Chimaev was particularly emboldened for his Nate Diaz callouts after receiving the backing of UFC President Dana White.

Nonetheless, Nate Diaz publicly rejected the fight on Thursday, stating that Chimaev is a rookie with only four fights. Accordingly, the mere suggestion of him fighting Chimaev was disrespectful and that Borz should not speak his name.

Immediately after Diaz’s rejection, Chimaev took to his home away from home, Twitterland, to let his thoughts on the matter be known. The common theme to be found in the tweets below: Borz is not a believer of the Diaz brothers’ gangster reputation.

“you are the easiest money for me thin @NateDiaz209“

“say hello to your older brother, tell him not to be afraid of me, I don’t beat old people, he knows what I mean, in Vegas I just wanted to say hello well, poor man ran away @NateDiaz209.”

Chimaev would also share the following animation. This could very well be directed at the entire UFC welterweight division, which Dana White himself claims wants no part of Borz.

Khamzat Chimaev’s latest smeshing took place at UFC 267 in a swift, showboating domination of Li Jingliang. Since then, there have been reports of Chimaev being in talks to face the #2-ranked Gilbert Burns.

However, based on Chimaev’s incessant callouts and the shared frustrations between himself and Dana White, there is legitimate doubt on how far such talks have progressed.

Do you think Nate Diaz is showing a lack of ‘gangster’ by turning down Khamzat Chimaev’s challenge?

UFC welterweight Nate Diaz has publicly shut down the idea of fighting Khamzat Chimaev for his return to the octagon.

Diaz has been inactive since his loss earlier this year to Leon Edwards at UFC 263. Despite previously saying he wants to fight multiple times in 2021, the year is almost over and it’s unclear as to when Diaz could return to the octagon next.

One potential matchup that has been talked about has been a fight with Chimaev. A rising star in the UFC, Chimaev and the UFC brass have expressed a lot of interest in a potential fight with Diaz.

In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Diaz sounded less enthused about a Chimaev fight happening.

“They’re coming at me with (Chimaev) and I’m like, ‘Hold on, don’t disrespect me like that, trying to offer me a fight with a rookie,’” Diaz said. “I’m cool. You got four fights in the UFC. Don’t even talk my name. There are levels to this and I don’t even want to hear his name.”

“I’m trying to fight somebody in the UFC, like ASAP, but nobody wants to fight,” Diaz continued. “I’ve been trying to get somebody for a minute. Anybody in the top 10 I’ve been trying to fight, in any weight division, whoever want it. But they all want to keep their mouths shut cause they are all scared.”

Nate Diaz Has Made It Clear That He Wants A Top Contender Next

Diaz has remained in the public eye despite his inactivity in the UFC this year. He’s picked social media battles with Conor McGregor, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Dustin Poirier.

Diaz was briefly linked to a potential fight with Poirier, but Poirier ended up fighting in a trilogy against McGregor before getting the lightweight title shot. He’s slated to face Charles Oliviera at UFC 269.

Diaz has one fight left on his current UFC contract and it’s unclear as to when it’ll take place, and who will be his next opponent.
