Fresh off his win at UFC Austin, Kevin Holland wants a shot at one of the biggest names in the game

Earlier this week Nate Diaz tweeted at the UFC for a fight with ‘anyone’ in an attempt to bust a gut with a move away from the sport. He enclosed the post with a video of Jake Paul knocking out Tyron Woodley in their rematch, suggesting his next move- a mega-fight with the Youtuber turned boxer.

The younger Diaz brother was among the first wave of fighters that set motion to the fighter pay dispute. He has been vocal about his contract with the UFC, and along with his brother Nick, became the first of a very elite group of fighters to negotiate PPV points into their contract without a belt.

Its being rumored that the UFC is stalling Diaz’s move by offering him difficult fights, while he has been throwing names at the UFC top brass for his last fight.

Nate posted a tweet by saying, ‘Ufc release now please or give me fight with anyone in July or august
I have bigger shit to do’

The tweet from Nate sparked riots on Twitter, and UFC President Dana White was surprisingly agog and all ears about the idea. Kevin Holland has been on a terrific two-fight win streak, and the crowd-favorite fighter won his fight at UFC Austin against Tim Means via D’arce choke.

Whether the UFC books this fight still remains a question, however the fans are up for a treat with an interesting build-up and fight if they end up facing each other.
