“I’d rather face the guy who knocked you out,” Diaz wrote on his Twitter account. Twitter.

Upon reading Nate's comment, Gilbert didn't stop. Following the provocative tone, the Brazilian did not ignore the North American's 'evasion'.

"That's what I thought. You don't want confusion. So don't say my name anymore, you 'fake gangster'. You have many defeats. Your teammates, who I have already defeated, know what I would do to you. Continue acting intelligently and safely”, he countered.

After defeating Stephen Thompson No. UFC 264, Durinho continues to look for a new opponent to remain active at welterweight. After his victory at the beginning of July, the Brazilian, who is looking for a new opportunity to compete for the group's belt, proposed a confrontation against Diaz, Leon edwards ou Jorge masvidal.

In 2021, Nate returned to action after a hiatus of over a year and a half. On his return, the 'bad boy' was surpassed by Leon edwards in the unanimous decision of the judges. Now, the American has just one more fight left on his UFC contract.

Even though he was defeated by Edwards, Diaz's name was floated as an unprecedented challenge for Kamaru Usman for the belt in the up to 77kg category. The North American also proposed a duel against Dustin poirier, which was accepted by the North American. None of the possibilities, so far, have been confirmed by Ultimate.
