When Nate Diaz proclaimed his interest to return to the cage in an instagram post last month, Eddie Alvarez was first to jump in line and offer his services.
“Sick of sitting around waiting for you f**kers to do shit there’s no excitement in this fight sh*t step your games up I’ll see u around may,June. Sincerely The Real Champ,” said Diaz in his post.
And this prompted the former UFC lightweight champion to start a multiple week campaign to try and book a fight with Diaz.
“May-June is perfect @NateDiaz209 , see you then big guy #Eastcoastbeastcoast #Ufcmostviolent”

Eddie Also took to The MMA Hour to share some rather insulting words on Nate Diaz, stating, “In Mexico, I got in his face after weigh-ins because he kept doing that sh*t he always does to everyone and nobody says sh*t to him,” Alvarez said. “I went right up to him, and when I went right up to him, he couldn’t even look me in the face. He looked down at the ground. I’m like, this guy is supposed to be so f*cking hardcore, so gangster? He wouldn’t even look me in the face when I was confronting him about all of the mean mugs and all of that sh*t. He looks at the ground and then the UFC officials kinda jump in middle of me and him, and then squash the whole thing.
“I told him, after I beat Gilbert up, I said, ‘You’re f*cking next.’”
During these attacks, Nate Diaz stayed totally silent.
Now though, that Nate has confirmed that he’s likely going to fight Tyron Woodley for the UFC welterweight world title, he also answered the callouts of Eddie Alvarez.
Nate, who is one of the UFC’s biggest stars, only wants the biggest fights possible. And he doesn’t think Alvarez qualifies as a proper pay-per-view draw.
Instead, Diaz has chosen a title fight against Woodley, recently telling ESPN that that’s his best option for a UFC return.
During his interview with ESPN, Nate finally responded to the callouts of Alvarez, and he’s not scared homie! He just doesn’t think it’s worth his time to book a fight in the UFC. Instead, Nate says he’ll fight the former champion in a Bathroom.
ESPN has it:
One thing Nate Diaz told me, not included in the story … He would “fight Eddie Alvarez in a bathroom if he wanted to say something,” but not on a PPV. Nate believes the time for that fight was 2015 and he clearly holds it against Eddie that it wasn’t made back then.
