UFC welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman has responded to the statements made by UFC legend Nick Diaz. Nick Diaz is returning to the octagon after a six-year long layoff. In his return fight, he will be facing his former opponent Robbie Lawler. The duo previously fought 17 years back at UFC 47. That fight ended in Nick knocking out Robbie in a brutal manner. The last time Nick fought was at UFC 183. Ahead of his comeback fight, Nick has had a lot to say, and in one of his statements, he mentioned the challenge of Kamaru Usman which he is interested to face. He also stated that he would beat Usman.

“I’m going in there to win,” Diaz said in an interview with ESPN. “Do I feel confident? I never do. I never have. I always feel like I’m going to get trashed out there. Every fight I’ve ever done. ‘How do you feel against Robbie Lawler?’ I feel like I’m going to get the sh*t beat out of me. And even when I win, I get beat up worse.”

“I think I’ll beat the sh*t out of Usman,” Diaz said. “I’ll have a better shot against Usman than I do Lawler, just because I already beat Lawler. This doesn’t make sense for me to go in and fight Robbie Lawler again. I don’t know why I’m doing this. … This should not happen. Whoever set this up is an idiot. I don’t know why I’m doing this. I don’t know why this happened. I should be fighting Kamaru Usman – and that’s it.”
