Nate Diaz heeft gereageerd op de McGregor- Mayweather fight geruchten en haalde flink uit naar de supersterren. Hij zei o.a. dat hij ze allebei kan verslaan in 1 avond in een boks gevecht, MMA gevecht of wat dan ook:
“I call your bluff, fight that motherfucker then I’ll be right here,” “I’m the only one out of the three of us who can say that I’ll whoop both of their asses in one night. Cause Conor can’t say that. Floyd definitely cannot say that, you know what I’m saying? You want a real fight you put me in with one of them boxers then, I guarantee I could beat them in boxing, at boxing.
“Mayweather’s the best boxer that there is at winning fights,” “I ain’t been boxing. I ain’t been in high-level boxing matches with him like that. But guarantee I’d do better than McGregor would.”
Het ziet er niet naar uit dat er een re-match met McGregor komt aangezien hij nog niet betaald is:
“I haven’t been paid yet.””I’m not begging for this fight. But everybody else seems to think it’s absurd when I’m asking for a raise. Every fighter needs to start acting like a businessman and treat yourself like a business and get yourself paid.”
