Leon Edwards calls out Nate Diaz following Chimaev’s withdrawal from UFC Fight Night 187

Leon Edwards is determined to fight on March 13 despite Khamzat Chimaev pulling out of their latest welterweight booking at UFC Fight Night 187, calling for a short notice fight bout with Stockton slugger Nate Diaz.

Edwards called out Diaz in response to Ariel Helwani’s Tweet about ‘Rocky’ wanting to fight Jorge Masvidal, Colby Covington, or Diaz as a replacement fighter, seemingly preferring a scrap with the latter.

Nate just dribbled for an hour about wanting to fight at 170 against winners... let’s see it then @NateDiaz209.
