Dana White (President of the UFC) did not take this very lightly, as seemingly he was not happy with Nate’s comments on Khamzat. Nate Diaz, one of the most popular MMA fighters on the planet, has made it very clear that does not want to fight UFC Welterweight Khamzat Chimaev. As he felt that, the UFC is disrespecting him with a fight against a “rookie”.

Nate’s comments on Khamzat were very precise, as Nate found it disrespectful that the UFC offered him a fight with a “rookie” In an interview with TMZ, White said, “Listen, man. Khamzat is a straight murderer, he’s a killer, he’s an absolute savage, and I don’t blame anybody for not wanting to fight Khamzat Chimaev,” When asked if he thought Diaz didn’t want to fight Chimaev for the reasons he stated or because he really views Chimaev as a rookie, White threw it back. “What do you think?” White said.

White’s intentions were very clear as previously he also told that Welterweights are scared to fight Khamzat.

“Everybody in this company is here because they belong here,” Dana White explains why Khamzat Chimaev is so dangerous

White emphasized Diaz calling Khamzat a “rookie” as he again added, “Everybody in this company is here because they belong here. There are no real rookies per se here. There are guys with more experience and some guys with less experience. Khamzat Chimaev is one of those guys that’s willing to fight anybody in multiple weight classes, on short notice. He’s doing wrestling matches. If it’s a fight, he’s in, and he wants to fight you. And that’s the reality. People can spin Khamzat however they want, and I don’t blame them.”

Diaz, 20-13, has only one fight remaining on his contract, and he doesn’t want to settle for anybody. Coming off a loss to top contender Leon Edwards at UFC 263, Diaz wants to fight somebody ranked in the top 10 of the welterweight division. As even in the loss, Diaz’s performance and durability were highly praised by the fans and the critiques.

Khamzat, 10-0, has cemented himself as one of the most dominant and scariest fighters in the current roster of the UFC and is considered by many to be a Title contender. Khamzat recently called out Nate and his older brother Nick Diaz and taunted them as “Fake Gangsters”.

Whether, Nate is doing this to sell the fight or he genuinely considers Khamzat a rookie, is all out of the box when it comes to a possible fight between the two welterweights.
