Nate Diaz Gets Asked About McGregor vs. GSP, His Reaction Is Priceless

UFC lightweight and occasional welterweight Nate Diaz is once again heavily rumoured to be facing Conor McGregor. The blood bath at UFC 196 will go down as one of the most amazing moments in MMA history, as Diaz stepped in on short notice to rain on both McGregor and the UFC’s parade. The fact that

Now, with UFC 200 floating on the horizon, Diaz is all over the media. His victory over ‘The Notorious’ on March 5 has finally seen the Stockton bad boy receiving some much deserved attention. Boy, is he using it well! His most recent interview started off entertaining, but literally span out of control towards the end, and Nate Diaz hijacked Chael Sonnen’s podcast. Check out the best quotes, with the full audio segment at the end of the article!

“I don’t know if that fights official yet, but if it is they want to do it at 170. If you lose to somebody and you go and change the circumstances, then it’s kinda weak. He wants to try and win under the same circumstances, like if I lost, I wouldn’t say well next time lose 10 pounds and I’ll beat you. That’s lame. I’m a lightweight, and they want me to go up a weight class at 170? OK, I don’t care, it’s whatever they want to do.”

“They slept on it, and they were like ‘we don’t need this guy (Nate Diaz) in this position. We need Conor back in there to get his momentum back.’ So now they are just trying to get me out of here as quickly as possible, that’s what I think. (As for the featherweights) Those guys like Frankie Edgar are in a shitty position, if that was me, and I was just skipping out on the weight class, I would just leave the belt behind. Fuck, poor guys, they just want to fight for a belt, that’s their goal.”

“The reality of it is, I think I can beat anybody in the UFC, from lightweight to heavyweight. But if you don’t you could get beat by anybody too. In fight week I’m thinking in the back of my head I might get fucked up or knocked out, but I’m also thinking about what I can do if it goes well. It went down the way I expected it to go down against Conor. Just the cardio factor itself is a martial art, he fucked up…

Nick Diaz Gives His Opinion On Conor McGregor

The post Nick Diaz Gives His Opinion On Conor McGregor appeared first on LowKick MMA.

The Diaz brothers have found themselves as superstars in 2016, after spending years as the ‘anti-heroes’ in mixed martial arts, they’ve suddenly found themselves as leading figures in the UFC. It comes for a number of reasons, for younger brother Nate it’s been the combination of years fighting the top contenders and then a landmark duo of wins over Michael Johnson and Conor McGregor. Similarly for older brother Nick, he’d been competing against the most elite fighters on the planet consistently, then his antics against Anderson Silva and resulting struggle with the Nevada Athletic Commission saw him surge to mainstream celebrity status.

With the win over ‘The Notorious,’ it was first believed that Nate Diaz could potentially receive a title shot at either welterweight or lightweight, but those opinions were swiftly shot down when the news leaked that a rematch was in the works. According to rampant reports, UFC 200 is the stage for Diaz vs. McGregor 2.

Perhaps the most enticing prospect of the rematch is a repeat of the highly entertaining banter that McGregor and Diaz shared before UFC 196. Their antics may have only lasted 11 days, but they easily bested some of the most classic rivalries in the sport’s history. Even down to the post-fight ‘I’m not surprised motherf*ckers’ interview with Diaz, this fight truly had it all.

The bout itself was not too shabby either, featuring barrel loads of strikes thrown with vicious intent before the eventual ending in round two. The Irishman’s demise came in the form of a slick rear naked choke from the Stockton grappler, and now we find ourselves asking how ‘The Notorious’ can avoid the same fate come UFC 200.

Not one to let go of the comments that McGregor had spouted before UFC 196, Nick Diaz gave his opinion on the Irish star during a recnt interview for BJPenn.com. He’s referring to McGregor claiming Diaz had terrible training partners, check it out:

Donald Cerrone Has Nothing Nice To Say About Conor McGregor

The post Donald Cerrone Has Nothing Nice To Say About Conor McGregor appeared first on LowKick MMA.

UFC lightweight Donald Cerrone is expected to face Patrick Côté at UFC Fight Night 89 on June 18, as the promotion heads to Ottawa, Canada for the first time. ‘Cowboy’ got back to winning ways with a win over Alex Oliveira in February, making him 9-1 in his last 10, the only loss being a brutal beat down at the hands of Rafael dos Anjos last December. The bout against ‘The Predator’ will go down at welterweight, as it appears dos Anjos took the last of the goods Cerrone had to offer at 155 pounds.

Another fighter making an extended foray to the UFC welterweight division is the featherweight champion Conor McGregor. ‘The Notorious’ recently put his newly captured 145-pound belt on hold to face ‘RDA’ for the lightweight strap at UFC 196, but ended up facing Nate Diaz in an impromptu yet thrilling 170-pound burner. Everything about the fight, and pre fight was gold. It seems the UFC had found a perfect combination, and it had fallen upon them by accident.

Cerrone reveals that he was asked if he would accept the fight with McGregor before the UFC had decided on Diaz, but that he eventually never got the call:

“Apparently I wasn’t close enough – I didn’t get the call. They called me and asked if I would say yeah. I even said I would take it at 155 (pounds). I was willing to make 155 no problem and fight him. But it just didn’t work out.”

Diaz would put an end to the fairy tale streak of McGregor, submitting him and pointing out the glaring gaps in the Irishman’s ground game. Cerrone was watching, and was not impressed by what he saw. As he tells MMAJunkie.com, he was also not surprised (motherf*ckers) to see Nate Diaz get the victory:

“I wasn’t surprised at all,” Cerrone said. “That’s how I would have fought. I would have went in there and took his ass down and submitted him right away. I’m not even going to start on the (expletive) (expletive).”

The post Watch this FOX Host’s Reaction When Nate Diaz Threatens To Slap Him appeared first on LowKick MMA.

If there’s one thing we know for sure about UFC welterweight/lightweight Nate Diaz, it’s that he doesn’t care much for the more traditional style of hyping fights and media coverage. Most elite fighters who talk trash and act out theatrical antics in the lead up to fights are essentially playing ball to sell more tickets, but much like his older brother Nick, Nate Diaz prefers to tell it how it is. The anti-bullsh*t style of the Diaz brothers had made them cult celebrities up until recently.

Now that Nate Diaz holds a victory over Conor McGregor, he joins his older bro Nick in the league of UFC needle movers, but it hasn’t come without a lot of hard work. As he famously told McGregor after his lightweight win over Michael Johnson ‘you’re taking everything I worked for motherf*cker.’ Well, with his second round submission over ‘The Notorious’ on March 5, it seems like the Stockton bad boy is finally getting the attention he deserves.

The lead up to UFC 196, with the combination of Nate Diaz’ real talk and Conor McGregor’s outlandish attitude, was a vintage rivalry. It was only 11 days long because Diaz was a substitute for the injured lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos, but the promotion made sure that this small window of opportunity was crammed with eventful media conferences and confrontations. One such moment that really brought the world’s attention to their feud was on the FOX Sports show ‘Jay & Dan,’ this was where their beef truly got some air time.

With lines like ‘Nobody knows what a gazelle is,’ and ‘you know it’s the real shit (x10),’ it was clear from that point that the pay-per-view sales would sky rocket at UFC 196. The impact was so great in terms of revenue that the two have once again been matched for a UFC 200 showdown, and once again at welterweight.

Nate Diaz has finally caught up with Jay and Dan, and the result is absolutely hilarious…
