Nate Diaz vs. Khamzat Chimaev could be coming to an Octagon near you very soon … ’cause Dana White tells he’s down to make the fight, and plans to talk to the Stockton fighter.

After 27-year-old Chimaev put on another DOMINATING performance, toying with, and then submitting Jingliang Li in the first round at UFC 267, “Borz” called out Nate, saying, “Let’s see who is the real gangster,”

We talked to White Monday afternoon and asked him if the UFC was interested in hashing out a deal for the mega-fight.

“100%,” White says … “We’re gonna talk to Nate about it.”

Takedown off the rip for @KChimaev!

36-year-old Diaz — one of the UFC’s biggest stars — last fought in June … losing in a unanimous decision to Leon Edwards
