It seems that nobody is exempt from Colby Covington’s trash talk \u2014 not even the long-absent Nick Diaz.<\/p>\n

Covington has targeted Nick and his brother Nate countless times before, most recently in an interview with MMA Fighting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if I fight Marty Fakenewsman [Kamaru Usman] next, it doesn\u2019t matter if I fight the Diaz sisters next, doesn\u2019t matter if I fight my best friend [Jorge Masvidal] next, but my title will be defended at Madison Square Garden,\u201d Covington said. \u201cThe journeyman Nate Diaz? He\u2019s hooked on weed, he needs to get hooked on phonics. He\u2019s a bum. He\u2019s got Stockton slaps but he ain\u2019t got MAGA bombs. He needs to stay in Stockton and keep eating his soy because he\u2019s a little soy boy.\u201d<\/p>\n

TMZ Sports<\/a> recently caught up with Nick Diaz to get his reaction to these comments. The elder Diaz bro claimed that he was never aware of Covington’s callout, but encouraged Covington to come find him in Stockton, California all the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not gonna sit here and call the man a liar, I never heard about it, I just found out,\u201d Diaz said of Covington’s trash talk. \u201cIf you wanna fight, you know where to find me. I\u2019m not a hard guy to find. Step in my motherf**king range right here. Come at me, bro.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nick Diaz has not fought since a January, 2015 battle with Anderson Silva. This bout was initially ruled a unanimous decision win, but was overturned when Silva tested positive for for drostanolone and androsterone and Diaz tested positive for marijuana metabolites.<\/p>\n

Colby Covington, on the other hand, is expected to challenge Kamaru Usman for the UFC welterweight title at UFC 244 on November 2 in New York City.<\/p>\n
