Dana White and Nick Diaz
The former Strikeforce Welterweight champion and one of the biggest names in UFC, Nick Diaz is going to make his comeback inside the octagon almost after 6 years to face the former UFC welterweight champion, Robbie Lawler, in a Middleweight contest on the main card of UFC 266.
In his recent interview with Brett Okamoto from ESPN, Nick Diaz called out the UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. He said “I think I’ll beat Usman, I have a better shot at beating Usman than I do Lawler, just because I … I already beat Lawler! This doesn’t make sense, for me to go in there and fight Robbie Lawler.
“I don’t know why I’m doing this. This should not happen. Whoever set this up is an idiot. I don’t know why I’m doing this, why this happened — I should be fighting Kamaru Usman, and that’s it!”
Dana White believes Nick Diaz is nowhere near Kamaru Usman
Although the fight between Nick Diaz and Kamaru Usman is going to be wonderful but Usman is levels above Nick Diaz and everyone knows what is going to be the outcome of that fight. That’s why the UFC president Dana White doesn’t see this fight happening anytime soon.
In the recent interview with Yahoo Sports, UFC President Dana White said “You know what I’ve been saying lately, Kamaru Usman is the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world,” “Jorge Masvidal twice, Gilbert Burns, Tyron Woodley, Demian Maia, Leon Edwards …”
“I mean, the list of guys that this guy has beaten is unbelievable, and the way that he beat them. He’s the world champion in that division and he’s the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world. Does anybody out there think that’s who Nick Diaz should come back and fight after not fighting for seven years? That would be an idiot that would make that fight.”
