UFC president Dana White and Tony Ferguson don’t seem very impressed…
Following ten months out of the spotlight, UFC star Nate Diaz blew up last night. Having gone 1-1 with Conor McGregor in 2016, Diaz has not fought in the octagon since UFC 202. Disagreements about his UFC pay are nothing new to Diaz, and his latest absence came as no surprise.
Taking a similar stance to his older brother Nick Diaz, Nate again laid waste to his employers and fellow fighters while on ‘The MMA Hour.
Nate’s Epic Rant
While talking to Ariel Helwani, Nate pointed out the shared management between McGregor and top contender Tony Ferguson. Diaz accused their manager, Audie Attar, of trying to get him to fight Ferguson instead of McGregor defending his belt.
Among many other insults, Diaz said he ‘already whooped Conor’s ass twice,’ he called Ferguson a ‘Bitch,’ and proclaimed himself the ‘golden child.’
Not surprisingly, Dana White was less than positive about Diaz’s future in the UFC, and Ferguson is furious:
Ferguson Goes Ham
As per MMAFighting.com, ‘El Cucuy’ goes completely off on Diaz:
“Give me that title. Give me that title! Where’s that belt that’s mine? F**k you, Conor. F**k you, Conor. F**k you, Nate. You bunch of b**ches. You guys are holding hands in the f**king locker room. . .”
“Well I figured, I was like,’ S**t, man. The next person that beat the dude that’s next in line would be Nate.’ So it had absolutely nothing to do with management and it had nothing to do with the f**king money either. I get paid either way and I get paid good.”

“These dudes want to f**king make it soft and be like, ‘Oh money fight, money fight. This and that money fight.’ Yeah that’s cool. The money will come to you, you’ve just got to keep winning. You’ve gotta keep putting in the time but these b**ches want to fight like one time and then go and retire. I understand it. You’re a p**sy, don’t worry about it. You don’t like to fight. You’re in the wrong sport. Go try tennis.”
“This is a man’s sport. I fight. I like to have job security. Give me somebody in front of me that wants to have their ass beat. Give me somebody that wants to go in there and test their wit against me. I thought this was the UFC and we’re supposed to be the best and toughest fighters in the world. Point and proven, Khabib, McGregor, and Nate Diaz are a bunch of bitches. It’s all fake for them.”
Dana White’s comments below…
Dana Fires Back
Recently accusing Dana White of lying, Nate claimed he had only been offered one fight, and that the UFC president was making up rumours. White maintains the same line during an interview with TMZ:
“I don’t know if those guys will ever fight again,” White said. “We offer them fights all the time.”
“We offer fights and they turn them down,” White said. “I don’t know what he wants. That’s up to them. That they want to fight next week or if they never want to fight again, that’s up to them. Not up to me.
“They don’t seem like they want to fight, no. Either one of them.”
Lol Ferg is the man.
