This quote from diaz is why I love him...Everyone says hes delusional with the belt talk but if you talk to any fighter they'll tell you it takes a bit of delusion to tell yourself your the best all the time. Bisping was talking about this on his podcast.
“I’m just the best fighter in this whole game and they’re giving belts to other people and making people work for belts,” a fired-up Diaz said. “But I’m the champ and as far as I’m concerned, [Masvidal] is too.
”I’m motivated to fight the best fighters judged on what I think and what real martial artists think, and who we think are the best.
“The champs right now, they’re just good at loopholes to winning, not technical martial artists. I think Jorge Masvidal, besides me, is the best in the game at it, and I thought Pettis was also.
“That’s why I asked for that fight, and I knew it was a dangerous fight. And that’s why I went in there with kill or be killed attitude because I knew that’s what I was risking fighting him or Masvidal.”
