As of now, no fight for Khamzat is set in stone. But, he recently sat down with The BlockParty Podcast and had a few things to say about Nate Diaz.

No, It’s never been close [to a done deal], the skinny boy, when u said let’s fight, I was good weight, good shape, and now I’ve been lifting weights, I go up like three kilos. Now he says let’s fight… I don’t care, I’m going to cut my weight and fight with him if he’s ready. I’ll smash that boy, he won’t be the same Diaz anymore.
