UFC superstar Nate Diaz seems pretty content staying on the sidelines while the UFC struggles to garner any real notable stars worthy of large T.V. audiences. Now, Diaz is blasting the UFC roster, and reveals what he wants if they wants him back in the cage.
The UFC has yet to break the 1 million PPV buy mark since Nate’s last two fights with Conor McGregor brought in record breaking numbers. In short, the UFC capped when Nate fought Conor the last two times, and has been unable to garner the same success ever since. However, Diaz isn’t having any money problems, and at this point the UFC needs him more than he needs them.
Taking to his own verified Twitter, Nate Diaz stated recently,
Ufc offered me title fight in any weight class Im kool though I’ll givem a shot when they do something good
On to the next sport for now [Boxing emojis]

In a new interview, he explains why not fighting makes him a real fighter, and why the rest of the roster is just working for the UFC. He also reveals that as soon as the UFC starts giving him respect, he’ll return to the Octagon.
Here’s Nate’s full remarks:
“I’ll fight whenever the f—k I wanna fight. That’s because I’m a G, Nigga, I’m a fighter myself. I ain’t trying to do what nobody says, I do what I say. And I will fight when I’m approached respectably,” as transcribed by MMAImports.com. “I already fought more than everybody in the UFC,” Diaz said. “Everyone in the UFC except Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, B.J. Penn, Michael Bisping – he has actually done a lot. I have more fights than anyone on the roster. In the whole roster.”
“(I’ve been fighting) from 21 to 30 years old, and I’ve been slacking a few years, just chilling, fighting once a year. And I have the most ‘of the Night’ awards, the most Submission of the Night awards. I’m holding all the numbers, I’m the one who did all this stuff.”
“I don’t need to fight nobody. I’ll fight anybody, but I don’t need to fight anybody. You work for somebody; I work for me. Who’s the fighter now, motherf—er?”
“Ask nicely, motherf—ers. Ask nicely. I’m talking about the organization, the fighters. And make it a big deal, because I’m not trying to just sign a contract just because it’s a good idea for you guys.”
