At the true height of his game following his biggest win, Nate Diaz will be headed for another one of the absolutely massive paydays he’s always looked for in the UFC when he takes on Conor McGregor in the recently confirmed main event of UFC 200.
A large number of serious MMA fans have taken umbrage with the UFC’s choice to reschedule Diaz against McGregor, whom he submitted with a masterful choke at March’s UFC 196; nonetheless, it would still provide Diaz with another pay-per-view main event against MMA’s biggest star.
Knowledge would dictate that he should be at least somewhat happy, but from the sound of Diaz’ words in a recent interview with FOX Sports, quite the opposite is true. The Stockton native said he’s just sick of how McGregor has been treated in the days after the stoppage loss:
“Completely irritated. I’ve lost decisions that I didn’t really lose and if I asked to get a rematch it was out of the question like are you kidding me, don’t even ask. But this guy is getting praised for wanting a rematch. It’s like get the (expletive) out of here, (expletive), this is the fight game.
“Whoever has lost a fight in the UFC and hasn’t wanted to fight that guy the next day shouldn’t be in the sport. All of a sudden he’s getting praised for losing and wanting a rematch? Get the (expletive) out of here, I’m sick of hearing it.”
A longtime veteran with a highly respected reputation for both toughness and his outspoken values, Diaz had even more to say to his employers.
