Nate Diaz trades barbs with ‘good champion’ Kamaru Usman, criticizes Covington rematch

Nate Diaz returned to the Octagon this month after a lengthy spell on the sidelines. In his comeback fight, at UFC 263, he lost a decision to Leon Edwards, despite having the Brit in trouble in the fifth and final round.

Prior to the fight Diaz told anyone who would listen that, no matter the result against Edwards, he saw himself fighting for the welterweight title soon. Yesterday he took to Twitter to poke at the incumbent champion Kamaru Usman.

“Who dis guy fighting next? Someone he already koed,” wrote Diaz referring to Usman’s upcoming defence to Colby Covington.
