"Nate Diaz, I love Nate, but he's always got a bad taste in his mouth."https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/1027149681145643008
"Nate, I heard you made $7 million or more on your last fight. I don't want to hear you complaining about being under-promoted by the UFC. You should be thanking the UFC and bowing to Dana White every time you see him. Ari Emanuel, Patrick Whitesell. You've got $7 million gross before taxes, maybe much more which I love knowing that you have, Nate. Please, I don't want to hear any complaints."As you can imagine, Diaz didn't take too kindly to these comments. Through Twitter, he told Buffer to 'get off the UFC nuts' before declaring that he bows down to 'no one ever,' regardless of how full his pockets are. https://twitter.com/NateDiaz209/status/1033889048970977282 Holy shit! Diaz vs Buffer? Who saw that coming? Now, this is classic Diaz behaviour, but considering how the UFC have been constantly criticised for not promoting Diaz correctly, perhaps this is all part of the promotional dance? Part of the cult of the Diaz brothers is this notion that they are oppressed by 'the man'. Maybe, just maybe, the promotion is finally trying to use this anti-establishment trait to their own advantage. Or maybe it's just Diaz being Diaz.
