The UFC is in a bit of a bind. They’d like to book the entertaining Khabib Nurmagomedov in a March fight for one of their multiple lightweight titles, but for stupid reasons they don’t have a good matchup for him right now. MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani texted children’s role model and potential Nurmagomedov opponent Nate Diaz tonight and got back the following: “I’m only fighting at lightweight for a big fight or 20 million just to take the call.” He also declared that he has no interest in fighting Conor McGregor a third time both because he already beat him up once and because the UFC isn’t offering him enough money to make it worth his while.
