Nate Diaz has never been the type to bite his tongue and now he has the clout to publicly call out the UFC.
“I put a big old hole in that sh*t,” Diaz said. “What do you guys think that I’m some game to be played with? I’ve been in this game for too long to f*ck with.
“Yeah, they had GSP there. We’re gonna have this big old GSP-McGregor show bullsh*t. I don’t even want to hear about that. GSP is gonna come out of f*cking retirement to fight this little ass Conor McGregor? What the f*ck? This is all just a freak show now. So now what did I do? I pissed off Conor McGregor, I pissed off GSP and most of all I pissed off the UFC. But LOL mother f*ckers.
Diaz later explained why the idea of a GSP-McGregor fight was a flawed idea from the start.
“You’re a f*cking bully,” Diaz said about St-Pierre. “You know you’re gonna hold that little ass Irishman down. You’re gonna hop in and take this money fight, like I’m coming back for this. What the f*ck? Get your ass back to your weight class. And Conor McGregor is out of line, too, trying to fight big ass people.”
If you’ve followed the careers of the Diaz brothers you’ll know that they are known for pointing out the hypocrisies of MMA. If they see something going down behind the scenes they’ll bring it to light.
That’s also the reason it’s taken them so long to gain trust from the UFC and to gain mainstream success.
