That call came in the form of Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 279 in September. In the final fight of his UFC contract, the younger Diaz brother will take on arguably the most talented and hyped upcoming fighter in the UFC at the moment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Dana White believes, it will be a good matchup, a number of fans, as well as pundits, have bashed the UFC for its matchmaking. Former <a href=\"https:\/\/ufc.com\/\">UFC<\/a> fighter turned pundit, Dan Hardy went as far as to brand it an \u2018assassination attempt\u2019 by the UFC against Diaz.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a recent interview with Yahoo Sports, Dana White shared his thoughts on the criticism he had been receiving regarding the fight. He said, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI love when fighters or other people or anybody else, give us advice on this incredibly successful business that we\u2019ve built. It cracks me up. I can tell you this: Leon Edwards, Dan Hardy, and anybody else out there yapping, has never dealt with the Diaz brothers, OK? It\u2019s a very unique experience.\u201d<\/span><\/i><br \/>\n<iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SwuAfEguAp4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">White continued, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt takes a very f*cking long time, and we got through it and here we are. It\u2019s a very popular fight people are going to want to see, that people like, and everybody\u2019s getting what they want. Dan Hardy and Leon Edwards don\u2019t have to watch it. They can go to the movies that night\u2026.. Wake up, boys. It\u2019s not how it works Do you think Nate Diaz wants to go out like that? That\u2019s why you guys better stick to fighting and stay out of promoting.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:-<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/maybe-he-had-a-few-too-many-drinks-that-night-curtis-blaydes-is-puzzled-about-jon-jones-recent-comments-aimed-at-him\/\">\u2018Maybe He Had a Few Too Many Drinks That Night\u2019- Curtis Blaydes Is Puzzled About Jon Jones\u2019 Recent Comments Aimed at Him<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/ufc-heavyweight-tom-aspinall-provides-much-needed-injury-update-after-shocking-ufc-london-knee-injury\/\">UFC Heavyweight Tom Aspinall Provides Much-Needed Injury Update After Shocking UFC London Knee Injury<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Khamzat Chimaev; a fight Nate Diaz asked for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During his interview with Ariel Helwani, Nate Diaz stated that he would not fight Khamzat as he did not want anyone else to build a name off his platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-386507 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/image01-19.jpeg\" alt=\"Nate Diaz\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/image01-19.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/image01-19-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/image01-19-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/image01-19-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/image01-19-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it could be that Diaz realized the UFC would not give him a fight other than Chimaev in the timeline that he wanted and therefore accepted the fight out of frustration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For over a year now, Nate Diaz was sitting on the sidelines and awaiting a call to secure his final matchup in the UFC.
