Nate Diaz took shots at Khabib Nurmagomedov and Khamzat Chimaev at the ceremonial weigh-ins after a controversial fight week. Nate only had praise for his opponent Tony Ferguson who readily accepted battle with Nate .

Nate was originally supposed to fight Chimaev in the main event but things went South when the Chechen missed weight by almost 8 pounds to invalidate the main event. After hours of speculation, Dana White announced the reshuffling of the entire card at a live interview with SportsCenter.

The newly formed fights matched up Diaz against Ferguson, Chimaev against Kevin Holland, both in 5-round main and co-main events, and Li Jingliang was matched up against Daniel Rodriguez at a catchweight of 180. Overall the fight card was well received than its original iteration.

Come, the ceremonial weigh-ins, Chimaev was welcomed to a hail of boos by the Las Vegas crowd and would in turn respond by flipping them off. He promised to “smash” Holland like he always did, while Holland was more cheerful about the match-up as he was aware , “it’s a tough fight but a fun one”

However, when Diaz stepped on stage it was unanimous cheers with the crowd eating up every word. He used that appropriately, first by praising Ferguson, then taking shots at his arch nemesis, Khabib. “Tony’s been in the UFC for a long time, we should have fought a long time ago”, said Diaz crediting the veteran status of Tony in the UFC.

” Khabib’s b*** a** was afraid of him just like this b*** a** motherf**** was afraid of me, “said Diaz as he took shots at the former Lightweight Champ and his now-former opponent. “Yesterday we linked his b a** in the back here and now he don’t know how to make weight”, claimed Diaz commenting on Chimaev’s weigh-in blunder.

He then took it up a notch and said, “You already know what it is, real G’s come from California, America motherf***”, leaving the crowd in thunderous applause. Diaz has had two separate brawls with Nurmagomedov and his team in the past.

Nate will fight his final UFC fight against Tony, a fellow veteran known to leave it all in the octagon in a five round fight.
