It’s safe to say that Nate Diaz isn’t a fan of two-division UFC champ Ilia Topuria’s recent antics against him and Jake Paul.

Nate Diaz is hours away from returning to Mixed Martial Arts as he prepares to face another UFC legend, Mike Perry, in the co-main event of Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano. This will mark Diaz’s first MMA fight since his UFC finale at UFC 279, in which the UFC superstar defeated former interim lightweight champ Tony Ferguson by submission.

Ahead of his return to the cage, Diaz is his usual, feisty self as he prepares to fight Perry. He’s thrown verbal jabs at some of the biggest stars in combat sports, including some of the UFC Hall of Fame’s recent inductees.

As Diaz prepares for his comeback, UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria gave a less-than-flattering review of the Stockton badboy’s skills. In a recent sitdown with Ariel Helwani, Topuria slammed Diaz and promised to knock him out in a potential showdown.

Topuria’s comments came after recent back-and-forths with Diaz’s former boxing rival, Jake Paul, about a future fight. It didn’t take long for Diaz to take notice.

In a recent interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, Diaz reacted to some of Topuria’s recent remarks.

“He’s a little b****, too,” Diaz said of Topuria.

“I’m years ahead of them fools. I’ve got better fights, and they’re like, ‘He sucks!’ He just said I suck. Bro, you suck! He was saying some dumb s— about how he’d beat up Jake Paul in boxing. All cool about how he sucked and s—, and I was taking offense.

“You won’t do s—. I’ll beat the — out of Ilia Topuria. This fool’s a dumbass just because of how he was talking all cocky and s—. You don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re f****** four feet tall,” Diaz continued on Topuria. “And then he f****** posted something about me again. Bro, I’ll slap the s— out of you. What the f— are you talking about? It’s a new day and age where there’s a bunch of little b****** running around that need to be slapped.

“Yeah, I don’t like him.”

As of this writing, Topuria hasn’t responded to Diaz’s comments. He’ll headline the UFC’s White House card next month against Justin Gaethje.
