Nate Diaz says he will NOT fight Khamzat Chimaev ... 'cause the guy hasn't done enough to prove he's ready.
the Chechen fighter is a"rookie" who flat-out just ain't on his level.
We talked to the UFC superstar at Brickhouse boxing gym in North Hollywood ... and we asked him about the potential fight with Khamzat. "They're coming at me with [Khamzat], and I'm like, 'hold on, don't disrespect me like that, trying to offer me a fight with a rookie.' I'm cool, you got 4 fights in the UFC. Don't even talk my name," Nate told us.
FYI, 27-year-old Chimaev -- 10-0 in his short career as a fighter -- bursts onto the MMA scene last year ... becoming one of the biggest draws in the sport.in October ... beating the Chinese fighter less than 4 minutes into the 1st round.told us last month the UFC planned to offer Nate a fight with Chimaev.
