Nate Diaz is doubling down, sending a message to the UFC, indicating he wants a fight with Michael Chandler now.<\/p>\n

It was Michael Chandler (23-7 MMA) who defeated Tony Ferguson (26-7 MMA) in a lightweight match-up last Saturday at UFC 274. Chandler stunned the crowd at the Footprint Center in Phoenix by blasting Ferguson with a terrifying front kick to the face which left him unconscious<\/a> just 17 seconds into the second round.<\/p>\n

UFC 277 is scheduled for July 30th and following his weekend win, Chandler took no time in calling out Nate Diaz to meet him in the Octagon<\/a> in a \u2018welterweight\u2019 bout.<\/p>\n

Michael Chandler tweeted to Diaz:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m there. Quick turn around. Spin your head on its axis @natediaz209\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Taking to ‘Twitter’, Nate Diaz had this to say in response:<\/p>\n

“UFC got me on ice for a year now chandlers obviously ready to fight send a contract it’s time.”<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s true Nate Diaz (21-13 MMA) hasn’t fought since June of 2021 where he was defeated by Leon Edwards (19-3 MMA) at UFC 263.<\/p>\n

Since that defeat, Diaz has been calling out fighters on a regular basis and calling out Dana White to make him a fight. The Stockton Native originally had his sights set on Dustin Poirier, but has most recently pivoted over to \u2018Iron Mike\u2019.<\/p>\n

They usually say where there’s smoke, there’s fire – would you like to see a Michael Chandler vs Nate Diaz match-up at UFC 277? Or who would you like to see Nate Diaz battle it out with for his final performance in the cage?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
