KHAMZAT CHIMAEV accused UFC star Nate Diaz, of refusing to fight him "ten times," in an x-rated Twitter rant.
Although the UFC attempted to put Diaz against the Russian undefeated last year, the fan favorite laughed at the idea of him taking on the rising welterweight competitor.
Fan favourite Diaz declined the welterweight match
Diaz was reminded of this by Chimaev on Monday morning, after seeing him tweet mocking himself as well as Conor McGregor, the UFC poster boy.
He tweeted: "B **** You're not ashamed of opening your mouth at all, you refused to fight 10 times @NateDiaz209.
Diaz caused a furious response from the Chechen clubber when he tweeted: "Kamzits & Conor are on our injured p***y lists so I don’t know why they’re talkingin’ s**t when their broken."
UFC fans were in an uproar last week when footage taken from the matchmakers' rooms showed that a summer showdown between Chimaev & Diaz was underway.

UFC President Dana White says that a showdown between the two is very possible.
He stated: "Yeah. Some of those [fighter names cards] are placeholders.
"So, when we go into there, we'll already have placeholders in the place.
"All of those things are not done deals. Some of these are placeholders.
"Some of them have been completed, while others are still in progress."
White said yes to being asked if he is still interested in booking the fight.
He replied, "I don’t know."
The Ultimate Fighter Season Five winner Diaz, 37 has not been in the octagon since losing to Leon Edwards by unanimous decision last June.
