Nate Diaz on McGregor Fighting Mayweather

Nate Diaz on McGregor Fighting Mayweather

“I think the Mayweather thing is a publicity stunt,” Diaz said. “It’s great for both of them. Boxing followers will start following Conor, MMA followers are going to start following Floyd. They’re all benefiting, and no one is losing, so they’re going to keep the ball rolling.

“But every day I hear about this Mayweather s—, it’s always about, ‘Am I going to take the fight?’ It seems like this is a pretty big deal, can I get compensated for it? … I’m like, ‘Hey, I call your bluff. Fight [Mayweather], I’ll be right here.'”

Boxing Champion Floyd Mayweather vs UFC Champion Conor McGregor?

Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor?

Floyd says.

“If I do fight, it’s only against Conor McGregor. That’s gonna be my only fight and not against nobody else because this matchup is just so intriguing. You have a fighter against an MMA fighter, one of the best MMA fighters to do combat and stand up and do it. He’s a strong fighter and when I look at him fight he’s a little faster than I thought he was so if the fight happens I can’t overlook the guy. I’m pretty sure – if we make the fight happen – I’m pretty sure he’s gonna push me to the limit.”

Overeem to Return to Jackson-Winklejohn MMA.

"I have a good relationship with the coaches over there. It never went bad, it never went sour. We have always had positive and very good communications and we were very open about the whole situation toward each other. I will have a couple of weeks here in Holland before I head back. But I will definitely be going back to Jackson's. I had a great run, four wins in a row fighting out of there. The coaches are great and we all get along. As well as the fighters, the gym is stacked with all kinds of fighters; girls, guys, all kinds of weight classes. There is great energy there and I cannot wait to get back in it."

Cyborg Says the UFC is full of douchebags like piece of s--t Conor McGregor and fake Ronda Rousey

“They treat fighters like dogs to promote their events and make money. They only promote (Conor) McGregor, this piece of shit. And Ronda (Rousey) was created by the media. Cris destroys her. They should have signed Cris a long time ago. She’s the best in the world, there’s no one to beat her. She’s a warrior who never gives up, but these douchebags in the UFC spent years making fun of her. The UFC is full of douchebags. The way they treat fighters is ridiculous. I never wanted to fight in the UFC for any money. They are destroying the sport. Cris is by far the number one and there’s no one to beat her, but she didn’t have the opportunity to show that yet because the UFC has boycotted her. They want a pretty girl like Ronda, they don’t want real fighters. The UFC knows people would compare Ronda and Cris. They made Ronda become a star, and when she was finally tested she got beat up badly and gave up. Ronda is not a real fighter. A real fighter goes down but comes back. It’s easy to be a fighter when it’s all good.”
