NATE DIAZ has launched a verbal tirade at UFC boss Dana White, saying he “hasn’t been offered any fights except the one he laughed at”.
White has gone on record recently saying that Diaz had been offered opponents, but that these were turned down as he is waiting for Conor McGregor part three.
Speaking to MMAMania, White was asked why Diaz had not fought since losing to McGregor in the rematch.

He answered: “I have no idea. Maybe he is holding out for McGregor. Conor has endless possibilities for fights.”
This led to Diaz launching a furious response on social media.
The 31-year-old mixed martial artist shared a link to the interview, and wrote: “This f****r can’t stop making s**t up about me and I haven’t been offered any fights except the one I laughed at.”
He then added the “punch” and “middle finger” emojis.
Diaz defeated McGregor in their first match with a stoppage, but in the rematch McGregor secured a points victory.

SunSport reported earlier this month how Diaz has also been vocal about the prospect of McGregor boxing Floyd Mayweather.
Speaking to boxing superstar Andre Ward on CSN Fights, Diaz said: “I think it is a big publicity stunt.
"But my take on a boxing match is McGregor is good and he does have a good chance to make something happen in two or three rounds.
“I think he has an amateur style where he only has good punches and movement for six-eight minutes. I think that is too amateur for Mayweather.
“I am just saying he has a puncher’s chance, if anything.
“In terms of skill and technique, he has an amateur style. Anyone can be good for nine, six, seven minutes.
“And they all have a puncher’s chance but Floyd is ready to go round-after-round and he is a hard person to get hold of.”
