It seems UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev is not in the mood to stop calling out whomever he can. He had called out pretty much every fighter, including Conor McGregor, Leon Edwards, Colby Covington, Brock Lesnar, and many others. However, his latest target is both the Diaz brothers.

Chimaev has made it clear that he will fight literally anyone. According to UFC President Dana White, everyone is avoiding a fight against Chimaev. The Russian-born fighter is itching to get back in the octagon and dominate his opponent. Thus, he is calling out fighters for a bout.

This time the fighter targeted both Nick Diaz and Nate Diaz in his latest Twitter post. He wrote, “say hello to your brother, tell him not to be afraid of me, I don’t beat old people, he knows what I mean, in Vegas I just wanted to say hello well, poor man ran away”.

Many Diaz fans on the platform did not like Chimaev’s tweets and were of the opinion that the younger fighter was disrespecting both the Diaz brothers. The Diaz’s have a loyal fanbase as they have been in the business for a long time.

In his previous tweets too, he took a dig at Nate Diaz. He said a fight against Nate Diaz would be easy money for him and also called him a “fake gangster”.

‘Borz’ had also shared a small clip from ‘Nu Pogodi’ where a wolf can be seen chasing chickens and capturing them. Incidentally, his nickname means wolf. Perhaps he was trying to depict how his arrival has caused chaos among other fighters.
