Nate Diaz feels he's being 'strong-armed' into Matt Brown fight

nate has a point.

he needs to join that lawsuit!

Typical manipulative, shady, bully type tactics. Watch...wait and see if Dana doesn't put him on blast publicly soon...guarantee he says Nate's afraid to take the fight.

i bet if Nate turns them down they will force him to sit out for a year as punishment. pretty low of them.

Nate should announce that "Dana is stepping down as president of the UFC."

Then when Dana says "no who said that" Nate can say "now you know how i feel"

whine,whine,whine, go get some money, Nate

Nate needs to check that white privilege and do what zuffa says. He got his ass kicked in his last fight, time to earn that money he always bitches so much about.

Whatever happened to anyone, anytime, anyplace?

Too much politics involved nowadays imo

Although I agree zuffa shouldn't announce fights before it's all booked, that's whack, just bored of reading about whatever the diaz brothers feel infringed about on a weekly basis.

Never heard this shit from fedor

Sweet golden post is golden sweet.

You know, considering Dana's sensitivity to anything off-Zuffa script, it should be possible to assassinate him with a scathing-enough remark. I'm calling it now: Conor McGregor by verbal death-stroke after failed contract negotiations in 2016.

Nate's a lightweight, and a relatively inactive lightweight at that, but with a full camp he's still a dangerous opponent for anyone at 155. At 170, not so much. It's actually a terrible move (on paper) for Nate to accept a fight with Matt Brown at welterweight at this moment in his career. I think some fans have lost sight of the fact that Nick and Nate Diaz are not the same fighter.

in my first comment, i asked priziesthorse if it was Nate and now see why for good reason............i don't know about his mental state or what he's up to, but this looks like a bullying job and they are trying to push him out.

They want him beat up..and will try to punk him into fighting..This is a bad deal all the way around for nate..he better get paid good is all I know, cuz that's the only pleasure he's getting..

maybe it's because the diaz brothers are 2 of the few that are willing to speak out against a lot of the shit that gets pulled. fedor was probably a little scared for his life to do the same. they didn't play around with the yakuza.

nate did not make weight the last time, so zuffa makes a fight at 170.

some have missed 3 times before they talk about making them fight up a weight class

While I feel bad for Nate, I can't help but feel he is in this situation of his own volition. He got fucked on a contract, because he trusted the UFC to look after him, which wasn't his fault to an extent, but you could maybe say he was naive there. However, once all that was out and it was clear he had no legs to stand on, he should just have fought as much as possible at 155, instead of sit out for however long, and now complain about every match up. He could have finished his contract and left the UFC to fight for Bellator, or at least made the UFC beat their offer.

He can be an exciting fighter in the right match ups, and really Matt Brown is a decent fight for him, in terms of what he wants. I don't see Brown using movement to cut loads of angles, while working on his legs, he will walk Diaz down and stand and trade, which the Diaz brothers seem to want. I don't see Nate winning, but it could easily be a fight of the night contender if Diaz comes correct, and prolonging his contract with this bullshit is only hurting himself.

sitting on the bench, is never benefitial

I feel bad for Nate ever getting hooked up with Mike Kogan as his manager. I haven't seen him in 13 years or more and still consider him one of the worst people I've ever known. All I'll say about the guy is that it wasn't uncommon for people to see his truck in the gym parking lot and go back home.

UFC needs to make sure things are signed before they announce.

Give two shits about Nate and Nick. They come off as children majority of the time.

" THATS FUCKING ILLEGAL "

If you see their names, skip over it then.

If this exact thing had happened to ANY other fighter, the fans would have their back all the way.

But hey, it's Nate Diaz so it must be all his fault.

Nate ended up in a bad situation, because he was taken advantage of. Once he was in that situation he handled it in the worst way possible.
