Diaz however, doesn’t have a point, as ‘Durinho’ has leapfrogged a whole host of Welterweight fighters in the rankings to become the top-ranked contender and have the best claim to a title fight. The massive jump came following his astounding decimation of former Champion Tyron Woodley over 5 rounds. He claimed a 50-44 victory and called out ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ in the post-fight interview at UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs Burns.
Diaz also highlighted his earnings and said he banks more than the duo together.

‘The Stockton Slugger’s words, though exhibiting discontent, will not be enough to prompt the UFC to make a switch and trash the contest. ‘Durinho’ is on a hot streak at the moment and is on a six-fight win streak. Four of those have come at Welterweight where in addition to ‘The Chosen One’ he has dispatched Alexey Kunchenko, Gunnar Nelson, and Demian Maia.

Usman has defended the belt just once. He beat Colby Covington at UFC 245 and will be hoping that was the first of many in a long title reign.
