Diaz: Ngannou and Adesanya are the only worthy opponents for me

American mixed martial artist Nate Diaz stated that at present there are only two fighters in the UFC who are worthy to share the octagon with him.

“The only worthy opponents that the UFC has for me are Francis Ngannou and Israel Adesanya. With all due respect to my division, I don't want to fight these guys. I like the fighters I just named more.

If I fight, it will only be with someone who has done something great like these two,” Diaz said on The MMA Hour.

37-year-old Diaz has not appeared in the octagon since last June, when he lost on points to Leon Edwards. The American has one fight left under his current contract with the UFC.
