“I'm not looking for any trilogy. He already had his a** whipped. He can fight everyone else, I have other things to do too”, said Nate in an interview with the website of the North American channel TMZ.
Diaz was asked if he would face the champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov. However, the fighter assured that he does not want to face 'boring' fighters. “I don’t want to fight any boring fighter. I already slapped the guy on the street and that son of a bitch didn't do anything. And then he tried to attack me with his fighters and I beat all those motherfuckers too,” he explained.
The American fighter believes that his rival, McGregor, will beat the lightweight champion in the main fight of UFC 229. “I think Conor has a much better fighting style. Khabib is scared, so I don't know how good he's going to be. We don’t need boring champions”, said Nate.
