Goodman ©@jedigoodman2836335👀 https://t.co/oKY9ibcxknIn subsequent callouts, 'Borz' accused Diaz of ducking him, which the Stockton native firmly denied. Diaz claimed that the bout did not materialize despite his multiple attempts to get the fight made.Interestingly, UFC honcho White recently confirmed that the Stockton slapper had indeed accepted the bout against Chimaev. Having long rallied to exhaust his contract, Diaz will now face the surging Chechen-born Swede contender in what is believed to be his last UFC outing.While the Diaz brothers are arguably the most iconic pair of siblings in MMA history, Chimaev and Till have gathered a following of their own. Entertaining videos of the two have been flooding the internet since 'The Gorilla' went down to the Allstar Training Center in Sweden to train with 'Borz'.&quot;He’s kind of in that Arturo Gatti territory now&quot; - Dana White on Nate DiazNate Diaz has been out of action since June last year when he dropped a lopsided unanimous decision against Leon Edwards at UFC 263. The fight marked Diaz's return to the octagon almost two years after the BMF title loss to Jorge Masvidal.Prior to that, the Stockton native earned a unanimous decision win against Anthony Pettis, which also marked the end of a three-year hiatus.Meanwhile, Khamzat Chimaev is riding an unbeaten five-fight streak with all bonus-winning performances. In his most recent outing, 'Borz' silenced his detractors with a decision win over former title challenger Gilbert Burns in a battle for the ages.Despite the contrasting junctures Diaz and Chimaev are at, UFC president Dana White claims that the Stockton native's record is inconsequential in light of his star status. White compared Nate Diaz to boxing legend Arturo Gatti, who was known for wild slugfests. The 52-year-old told Yahoo!Sports:“In this sport, it’s all about the fights you make and this is one so many people are excited to see. It’s not about Nate being on a long winning streak or whatever, it’s that he’s a guy who comes to fight and you know what you’re going to get with him. He’s kind of in that Arturo Gatti territory now.”
