In a new interview with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, Nate Diaz opened up about the massive headline fight against rising star Khamzat Chimaev. This is the last fight of Diaz’s UFC contract, but it’s also a fight he never wanted to take in the first place.

“I’m the champion of the whole UFC altogether, and I don’t give a fuck,” Diaz said. “What they got me doing right now is they’re acting like I called for this fight, which I didn’t call for, and I don’t want, and didn’t want, and still don’t want, but I don’t give a fuck. I’ll fight anybody. But the pressure’s on him — he better finish me, because he’s the next killer in town.”

The fact that he’s a massive underdog going into the five-round fight doesn’t seem to bother him.

”If I get my ass whopped, guess what? You’ve still got a free agent out there who might’ve just got his ass whooped but he’s still only the No. 2 fighter in the world, because he just fucked up the champion of the welterweight division and he’s losing to the guy you’re claiming is the next biggest, best thing. So get it done then, because the pressure’s on you, motherfucker. I don’t give a fuck,”
