UFC legend Nate Diaz has told Islam Makhachev he got his "a** whooped" against Alexander Volkanovski despite winning the fight.
Makhachev, 31, defended his lightweight title against featherweight champion Volkanovski in the main event of UFC 284 with scores of 48-47, 48-47 and 49-46 across the board. Featherweight titleholder Volkanovski was moving up to lightweight for the first time in his UFC career and was attempting to become just the fifth double-champ in promotional history by capturing Makhachev's belt.
The scorecards were somewhat controversial as many fans feel that Volkanovski won the fight despite all three judges scoring it in favour of Makhachev. Diaz echoed this sentiment as he wrote on Twitter "Yeah right Islam got his a** whooped," before also tweeting to Volkanovski: "Congrats".
