Nate Diaz boasts of beating Khabib and Khamzat Chimaev despite not fighting them

Nate Diaz has declared that he has wins over Khabib Nurmagomedov and Khamzat Chimaev, despite never having fought either of them during his UFC career.

The former lightweight title challenger last year left the promotion after a win over Tony Ferguson, having never won gold but still maintaining a massive star power due to his unique personality. He only ever fought for the belt once, losing to Benson Henderson, but has frequently claimed that he was the best fighter in the UFC.

And in a new tweet he has claimed that he went 3-0 against Chimaev, Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier on account of them pulling out of fights with him. He was due to face both Chimaev and Poirier, with the Swede missing weight by over half-a-stone and the American pulling out due to an injury, although he was never set to face Nurmagomedov.
