Nate Diaz was one of many fighters who weighed in after Saturday's UFC 254, and he didn't seem all that impressed by Khabib Nurmagomedov's win over Justin Gaethje.
The UFC star criticized Gaethje, Conor McGregor, and Dustin Poirier - all of whom have lost to Nurmagomedov via submission - for their limited ground skills.
"I ain't eating this shit up like yallllll," Diaz tweeted Saturday.
Nurmagomedov announced his retirement from mixed martial arts after extending his professional record to 29-0 and cementing himself as one of the most dominant fighters in UFC history.
Diaz, who holds a submission win over former two-division champion McGregor, hasn't stepped into the Octagon since losing to Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244 last November.
