#4 News: Kevin Lee talks Nate Diaz fight; trashes Eddie Alvarez
Kevin Lee has thrown his hat in the ring to face one of Stockton's finest, Nate Diaz.
While former UFC Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez was recently involved in a Twitter war with Diaz, Lee claimed that Alvarez is 'washed up', and would never sniff a UFC title shot again. Lee added that considering how he's coming off a loss to Interim Lightweight Champion Tony Ferguson, and Diaz's last fight was a loss to Conor McGregor, Lee vs. Diaz is the fight which that fans want to see.

Below are a few excerpts of Lee's statements regarding Alvarez and Diaz (*courtesy--The MMA Hour & MMAFighting*)--
"Alvarez, he’s bound for retirement. If you want to beat a man into retirement if you want to continue to take his brain cells, go ahead. But if you want a real fight, if you want a real champion, if you want a real future champion, then (Diaz) knows who to come to. If he’s really a sportsman, if he’s really a competitor, he knows who to come to."
