Khabib Nurmagomedov was completely dismissive of Nate Diaz and his recent attacks on him via social media, highlighting the inconsistency of his career in a recent interview.

James Gallagher has responded to what he perceives to be a misreading of the comments made by John Kavanagh about cornering Conor McGregor again in the future.

Joe Rogan put forth his belief that Dana White created the McGregor/Poirier rumours in order to coax Nate Diaz into taking a third fight with Conor instead.

It remains completely up in the air to a certain exent but it does appear as though Nick Diaz is set to return to the octagon for the first time in over four years. Here’s why you should care.

Ben Askren has continued his attack on the UFC roster, this time taking aim at some of the sport’s biggest stars ahead of his eagerly awaited UFC debut.

Nate Diaz took to Twitter to question Dustin Poirier’s withdrawal from their UFC 230 showdown, something that caused ‘The Diamond’ to retaliate.

Nate Diaz took to Twitter to take a dig at his originally scheduled UFC 230 opponent Dustin Poirier after he withdrew with their contest due to injury.

Nick Diaz spoke to FOX Sports in a recent interview and explained what he saw as Conor McGregor was decisively beaten by Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229.
