Nate Diaz Tells Dana White To Get Off Conor McGregor’s Nuts

The post Nate Diaz Tells Dana White To Get Off Conor McGregor’s Nuts appeared first on LowKick MMA.

The Conor McGregor show is officially up and running again. News broke late Monday night that McGregor would indeed be fighting at UFC 205, but not as a featherweight. Eddie Alvarez will make his first lightweight title defense against ‘The Notorious’ on November 12, as the UFC debuts in New York City. The Masdison Square Garden is set to play host to a thus far spectacular pay-per-view card. Also confirmed yesterday were Chris Weidman vs. Yoel Romero, and Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Michael Johnson.

Following this string of wild announcements came some news of a very different kind. Former undisputed champion and current interim featherweight boss Jose Aldo asked for his release by from the UFC. Clearly frustrated that McGregor would be fighting for a third time outside his weight division, thus leaving the division cold again, ‘Scarface’ said he was done with the ‘circus.’ Another fighter who appears to be getting fed up with the UFC’s alleged special treatment of McGregor is Nate Diaz.

Diaz Blasts Everyone

After submitting Conor McGregor in a wild brawl at UFC 196, Nate Diaz agreed to an immediate rematch. Just weeks after the event the two bitter rivals were set to do it all again. This time around, at UFC 202, the Irishman claimed a close decision win over Diaz. Unfortunately for Nate, his request for a do-over was shut down by the UFC. McGregor was matched with Alvarez, and so we find ourselves in the midst of a super fight in the Big Apple.

Although it’s undeniably great for the promotion’s first show in New York, what about the bigger picture? Are the UFC alienating their entire roster, or will the rest of the fighters turn full heel to bring in the eyeballs? Diaz is not impressed. Speaking with MMAFighting.com, the Cesar Gracie black belt put McGregor and UFC president Dana White on blast:

“Fuck them both (McGregor and Alvarez). You know both those little bitches are afraid to fight me. That’s why they are fighting each other.

“And tell Dana I said get off Conor’s nuts,” Diaz added. “I left my room to that fight at 176 (pounds), so when I fought I was probably 173. Quit telling people I was a monster to make him look good. I’ve been a lightweight my whole career.”

“Eddie said I was next after Gilbert, then I called him a bitch in the lobby and he turned the fight down repeatedly until I beat Conor,” Diaz said. “Then he called every day asking for the fight. Bitch. What kinda fighters are these guys?”

Joe Rogan Discusses Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz 2

The past year has seen some serious changes in the landscape of the UFC’s most marketable stars. The promotion had poured money in to UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor and former women’s bantamweight queen Ronda Rousey in an attempt to elevate their status and thus bring in solid pay-per-view numbers. It certainly worked as, up until

As it turned out for both ‘Rowdy’ and ‘The Notorious,’ the walls that had been built by their dominant performances in the octagon and brash antics in the media soon came tumbling down. For Rousey it was the harrowing knockout loss to Holm that sent her in to a spiral of depression and self doubt. She is yet to return to the octagon after her first pro defeat, recently electing for surgery and further postponing the potential UFC comeback.

McGregor’s stumble came in the form of a UFC 196 submission loss to Nate Diaz, one that would halt the promotion’s future plans for a superfight with Rafael dos Anjos or Robbie Lawler and also put the 145-pound title on hold. Opting to request an immediate rematch at UFC 200, at welterweight once again, it wouldn’t be long before the Irish star would go in to his own media meltdown, albeit far less serious than Rousey’s breakdown.

After pulling out of the UFC 200 presser in California, McGregor was taken off the card all together, and proceeded to go full blown ‘Notorious’ with a social media tirade that would last for weeks. Ill-founded rumours of a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather would swirl before the announcement of McGregor’s rematch with Nate Diaz was announced at UFC 199.

One man who’s had front row seats for the highs and lows of both McGregor and Rousey is UFC color commentator Joe Rogan. Along with Conor McGregor’s loss to Nate Diaz, Rogan gives his opinion on the rematch at UFC 202 and points out where Rousey went wrong in the Holly Holm fight.

Nate Diaz is still dropping bombs on Conor McGregor…

UFC lightweight and welterweight Nate Diaz stuck himself firmly on the map this past March 5, taking out the highly hyped UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor by submission. The UFC 196 had all the thrills and spills of a classic bout, including a fierce rivalry before hand. It was only 11 days in the making, as Diaz replaced the njured lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos, but the Stockton bad boy capitalized in a big way.

Many people felt the diverse striking attacks of McGregor would have Diaz shooting in for ground attacks and takedowns, but as it turned out, it was quite the opposite. The taller 209 native blasted ‘The Notorious’ with some hard shots, and for the first time in the Irishman’s UFC career, it looked like he may have been in trouble. Then cam, as predicted by Diaz, the takedown attempt from McGregor. It was as good as over from that point.

Diaz catapulted himself in to the limelight, and is currently relishing his well deserved attention and also a much increased disclosed pay check. Chatting with Mike Bohn for Rolling Stone Magazine, the younger of the infamous Diaz bros says he was close to knocking McGregor out, among some other cool topics:

“I lost plenty of decisions and I’ve never got a rematch to this day,” Diaz says. “So that’s crazy. Conor got worked over and now they’re saying rematch, which makes sense, I understand that. I just think it’s funny because it’s like, Jose Aldo didn’t get a rematch.”

“Those are both great fights, big fights, but those are both my brother’s fights. I’m not going to step on his shoes,” he says. “I’m not going to into his weight because everybody wants to see Nick vs. GSP or Nick vs. Lawler. I would like to fight for the Lightweight title. But if I did the [fighting at] 170 thing I would like them to work out the deal with Nick and I’ll take the leftovers.”

“I wasn’t training for the triathlon,” he says…

Nate Diaz Has Some Jiu Jitsu Advice For Conor McGregor

Wow, Nate Diaz also blasts Conor McGregor’s haters and the trolls… For those of you that thought the heated rivalry between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor was still burning, this recent interview might change your mind.

Wow, Nate Diaz also blasts Conor McGregor’s haters and the trolls…

For those of you that thought the heated rivalry between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor was still burning, this recent interview might change your mind. We are just 11 days removed from the madness of UFC 196, and the blockbuster pay-per-view card from Las Vegas, Nevada is still making front page news. The UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor faced Nate Diaz in the main event of the evening, and it was more spectacular than any of us could’ve imagined.

To the surprise of many of ‘The Notorious” fan base, the Irish boxer was not able to take Diaz out in the first round as he’d predicted. The chin of the Stockton Jiu Jitsu ace proved steadfast, and by round two it was clear who was going home with the victory. For the first time in McGregor’s UFC career, he was in serious trouble, and Diaz’s combinations began clipping the jaw on a regular basis.

As UFC commentator Mike Goldberg might say, Diaz smelled the opening, and he wasn’t going to let McGregor off the hook. All the trash talk and mentions of ‘snitches in Stockton’ had clearly put wind in the sails of Diaz, and it wasn’t long before his own predictions began to come true. Everyone becomes a wrestler once they get hit, and McGregor did just that, shooting in for an ill fated takedown on the superior grappler. This marked the end of the fight before it had even happened.

The subsequent ground and pound from the mount, attempt to escape by McGregor, and Diaz sinking in the rear naked choke from the back was elementary.

For once it was Conor McGregor on the receiving end of the taunts inside the octagon, he was a broken man, and Nate Diaz’s corner were letting him know this throughout the final moments of the fight. As the featherweight champion tapped out, it was clear that welterweight was not the place for him, and that Diaz’s Jiu Jitsu was simply superb. We also saw a huge backlash in the form of hateful memes and a strange scrutiny of McGregor for tapping out rather than going to sleep.

Former UFC Champion Goes Berserk When Asked About Conor McGregor

The post Former UFC Champion Goes Berserk When Asked About Conor McGregor appeared first on LowKick MMA.

UFC 196 provided all the thrills and spills of any instant classic pay-per-view card, and featured a night of underdog victories in the main and co-main event. Miesha Tate stopped the short lived champion Holly Holm in her tracks, decimating the former boxing queen in the fifth round by choking her out cold. ‘Cupcake’ is now heavily linked to a trilogy match with ex-champ Ronda Rousey. But, let’s be honest, the main event was the true fight of the night, and it was born from a pairing only 11 days in the making.

Nate Diaz replaced injured lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos against Conor McGregor, fighting at 170 pounds on less than two weeks notice. After a back-and-forth first round, Diaz put the screws to the plans of ‘The Notorious’ with a stunning second round rear naked choke.

Diaz had put the middle finger up to the doubters and sent McGregor back down to his 145-pound title. In the space of less than ten minutes the Stockton bad boy had unravelled the Irish star, and exposed the glaring holes in his game. Many would claim that weight and cardio played a big role, but on fight night it’s all about pulling your best performance out of the bag, and a gracious McGregor would tip his hat to Diaz for his massive win.

So it turned out to be red panty night for Nate Diaz in every way, he banked big for the win, and took the biggest scalp of his career so far. With the loss for McGregor came a horde of reactions from MMA fans, fighters and media personalities across the world, some of them rather hilarious and crazy. But one particular former UFC champion literally lost his head when asked about the McGregor vs. Diaz fight.

Conor McGregor Trash Talks Nate Diaz Out Of CNBC Interview

It looks like the trash talk has finally got to Nate Diaz, as he walked out on a CNBC interview when Conor McGregor touched a nerve…

UFC 196 fight day is finally here! Although it means some of us will be staying up until the ungodly hours of the morning in our respective time zones, it’s fair to say the main event between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz has us sold. The beef between the two trash talking kings dates back to before Diaz’s landmark win over Michael Johnson in late 2015, as the Stockton bad boy was slamming ‘The Notorious’ in interviews well before that.

It seems that money has long been an issue with the Diaz brothers, and served as the main reason for both men sitting out for long periods during their potentially best years. When you learn that the younger Diaz brother has a basic $20K/$20K salary at the time of last reporting, you can almost see why he’s bitter about a guy like McGregor. The Irish star is reportedly breaking the $10 million dollar mark for this weekend’s festivities.

With McGregor making ‘super heavyweight’ cheques, and both Diaz brothers having fought for much longer and arguably against some of the best known names in their respective divisions and beyond, you can see why the subject of money might be a raw nerve. As it happens, the two UFC 196 headliners sat down with business news channel CNBC, and not surprisingly the subject was money.

McGregor gets asked about how much money he’s making this weekend, and then things get interesting.
