Khamzat Chimaev calls out Nate Diaz for December fight

Red-hot prospect Khamzat Chimaev is itching to test himself against a big name inside the octagon.

This time around, Chimaev has called out fan favorite Nate Diaz for a showdown in December after the latter shaded Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier in a tweet.

"Let's don't get it twisted I already smoked these 2 now they play fighting," Diaz wrote on social media.

"I don't play fighting I fight so get your soft body to Vegas and I will smoke you on December 19. You are a real fighter so let's go," Chimaev replied.

I don’t play fighting I fight so get your soft body to Vegas and I will smoke you on dec 19. You are a real fighter so let’s go @NateDiaz209

Diaz last saw action against Jorge Masvidal in November 2019 at UFC 244 where he lost via third-round technical knockout.

Chimaev, meanwhile, holds a perfect mixed martial arts record of 9-0. He debuted in the UFC in July and won all three of his fights in the first round.

UFC president Dana White previously said that Chimaev, who is capable of winning via knockout or submission, is one of the most special if not the most special fighter he has ever seen. —MGP, GMA News
