UFC lightweight contender Charles Oliveira has issued a response to a recent callout from returning fan favorite Nate Diaz.<\/p>\n

Diaz has not fought since a November, 2019 loss to Jorge Masvidal, but has recently been linked to a return to the cage.\u00a0Speaking to ESPN, he called for a fight<\/a> with Oliveira, but stipulated that he’s not interested in fighting the Brazilian at lightweight, and suggested they meet at welterweight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole lightweight division has been taking Ls \u2014 every single one of them, except for what\u2019s-his-name who just beat [Tony] Ferguson,\u201d Diaz said, referencing Oliveira. \u201cThat\u2019s the guy right there. I\u2019ll fight that guy, that\u2019s who I\u2019ll fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like the winners,\u201d Diaz added.\u00a0\u201cI ain\u2019t fighting at \u201955. There ain\u2019t nobody at 170. When those guys grow up I\u2019ll fight somebody at 170. The \u201955 division has some guys in it. I like the Oliveira fight or the Dustin Poirier fight.”<\/p>\n

Speaking on Twitter on Thursday, Oliveira issued a response to this callout, mocking a famous line from Diaz’s older brother, Nick Diaz: “Don’t be scared, homie.”<\/p>\n

See how Oliveira responded below:<\/p>\n

“Status: no interest, homie,” Oliveira wrote<\/a>. “Goal: lightweight belt.”<\/p>\n

While this is the first time Oliveira has publicly addressed a potential fight with Diaz, his team<\/a> has already shrugged off any interest in the matchup.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, it is a fight that theoretically makes no sense to us,” Oliveira’s coach Diego Lima told AG Fight. “Nate is not active, much less ranked. It is a fight that would only happen for financial reasons. But even so, I don\u2019t think it would be beneficial for us at this point. We know that McGregor sells a lot. Really who he faces sells well. Nate is not at that level. Our goal is the belt. Even if it is very financially worthwhile, today I do not see this struggle adding to Charles\u2019 career. The goal is only one, the lightweight title.”<\/p>\n

Charles Oliveira is currently riding a big win over Tony Ferguson, which earned him the No. 3 spot in the UFC lightweight rankings. How do you think Nate Diaz will respond to Oliveira’s comment?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
