Nate Diaz frustrated with the UFC not having a fight booked for him
Even though Nate Diaz is a huge star within the UFC, he is incredibly inactive. However, for the last couple of months, Diaz has been frustrated with the UFC for not getting fights booked foꦿr him.
As many people are aware of, Diaz was rumored to fight the former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier this summer but the UFC 🦹president Dana White has confirmed that the UFC have moved on from that fight.
Since White's comments on the situation, rumors 🐬of a potential Diaz vs Conor McGregor trilogy have been doing the rounds.
Yesterday on Twitter, Diaz expressed his frustration at the UFC for not having a fight booked for him yet despite him saying in the same tweet that he isn't willing to fight Conor McGregor as "he sucks."
Check out Diaz's tweet below.

Outside of the tr🌟ilogy bout against McGregor, who else would you like to see Diaz fight?
