Dana White: Nate Diaz turned down fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov

Nate Diaz and Khabib Nurmagomedov’s latest beef on social media, which seems to be a continuation of their brawl at a World Series of Fighting event in 2015, led one fan to suggest that the UFC book a grudge match between the two lightweights.

But, according to UFC president Dana White, Diaz has already ‘turned the fight down’.

The head promoter responded to a fan on social media.

Although Diaz has yet to respond to Dana, the former lightweight title challenger said back in 2017 that White can’t stop ‘making sh-t up’ about him, insisting that he has never turned down a genuine fight offer.
