Media Nate Diaz: The UFC is holding me hostage; Asked fights w/ Luque, Ferguson, & Khamzat

[John12]

As expected and as every other Nate interview, a lot of it didn’t make sense and he mentally checked out and rambled.

-Asked for fights with Luque and Ferguson. Turned down fight with Khamzat initially because he doesn’t want to be used to build stars, but later on agreed just to get his contract over with.

-He said he’s been trying to get out if his contract since the Bendo fight as he felt he was getting lowballed.

-Says the UFC is offering more money than any UFC fighter now with more fights but he just wants out of his contract because he feels the UFC roster is used and abused.

-Rambled about Khabib and Khamzat wnd complained about their styles.

-Says no one is good or interesting enough to fight him aside of Ngannou and Adesanya and he’s not trying to fight them.

-He says the problem isn’t money anymore and he just wants to be free as he can make money doing anything else.

Diaz just needs to call it a career at this point and retire

Why is he wearing a shirt with his brother's name on it?

Why retire when he can box up the Paul brothers for millions of dollars?

Everyone thinks these guys should just shut up and do whatever is best for Dana and the ufc.

He has one fight left, just take it and leave. He could have been out ages ago.

He signed the freakin' contract. Just fight your last fight and move the fuck on...Nate Diva. Jeez cannot believe the fanbase this bitch has.

It's weird how some of you think a contract should amount to indentured servitude. Yet when the ufc plays hardball and tries to get guys to take less money or get cut after a loss, you don't seem to have any problem with that.

 

[Blayt7hh]

I feel like his entire career he has signed a contract and the immediately regretted it

This was a great interview by Ariel.

Diaz has been making fucking bank since the Conor win. Good for him. It has hardly been indentured servitude for Nate, His 15 minutes are over. Now he's crying. The dude is 5-6 over the last 10 years and has acted like "Nate Diva" the entire time. Just take your last beating in the real fight world, STFU, and move on to more bank getting your ass beat in freak show boxing for wayyyy more money.

Nate admitted he was given fights, but he only wanted to fight only Adesanya or Usman, no one else.

It's one fight, it's not as if he's locked into a multi year deal.

Why is he wearing a shirt with his brother's name on it?
