Nate Diaz has beef with UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. That much is clear.
It’s just that, when it comes to Diaz, you never know what he means when he says what he says. It’s part of his intrigue.
And so with that in mind, what are we to make of this very NSFW Instagram post from Diaz on Monday?
Kabibs hiding scared cause I slapped the shit out of him
Conor already got his ass beat twice
Where the fuck you at kabib?
Ps porier is a pussy
It’s hard to know for sure just how recent the training footage in that video is. He also tweeted this photo the night before with a message aimed at somebody.
Quit hiding 👊🏼
I think most of us would like to believe Diaz could be maintaining his shape in advance of a potential fight, but this is the part where I remind you that he hasn’t competed since a majority-decision loss to McGregor in their August 2016 rematch at UFC 202. Diaz had been set to return last November at UFC 230 against Poirier, but that fight fell through after “The Diamond” pulled out with an injury.
With McGregor apparently aiming for a return in July, and his previous declarations that he’d take a third fight with Diaz, it’s rumored that the path is clear for the trilogy to happen. Then again, UFC President Dana White always says he doesn’t believe Diaz will ever fight again.
Still, we’ll be waiting. We won’t be holding our breath, though.
