Nate Diaz Eyes UFC Fight With Conor McGregor’s Potential Opponent Charles Oliveira
Fluid trash-talking is never Nate Diaz’s best facet. He learned it the hard way during the press junkets leading up to his fight with Conor McGregor. The Stockton gangster keeps it real, and it keeps it to the point. Moreover, Diaz has been vocally restless with the UFC not getting him a fight since his UFC 263 loss to Leon Edwards.
Nate Diaz is always ready to fight anyone, anytime, given he’s injury-free. But since the UFC isn’t exactly lining up to provide him with fights, he’s calling out the fighters by himself. The one thing that needs to be noted here is that Diaz isn’t willing to fight Conor McGregor as he currently considers the Irishman sub-par to his level.

That being said, he’s now eyeing McGregor’s potential opponent for a return. Nate Diaz took to Twitter to subtly call out Charles Oliveira with two videos of him getting submitted and knocked out.

The first fight was against Anthony Pettis in a featherweight bout. With no caption, Diaz just posted the video to show them that he lost to an opponent that he beat before.

The second video was Oliveira’s fight against Donald Cerrone, who won via a TKO. Again, Cerrone was also an opponent that Diaz previously beat. Diaz captioned the second video with a sarcastic sad emoji and could have been hinting at a fight pitting him against ‘Do Bronx.’
