Khabib Nurmagomedov has stated "life is good" just hours after Nate Diaz's bout with Khamzat Chimaev was cancelled.
Diaz was set to face Chechen star Chimaev at UFC 279 in his final outing for the promotion at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, but the fight was cancelled after his rival missed weight. Chaos ensued, with Diaz refusing to agree to a catchweight bout, which then saw him paired with new rival Tony Ferguson for Saturday night's headline act.
Nurmagomedov was a long-term rival of Ferguson during his own UFC career, with the pair frequently coming close to meeting in the Octagon, but a bout failed to materialise. And the Russian star has posted an intriguing social media message on Twitter, with the caption: "Life is good."
