Nate Diaz Blasts GSP & Tyron Woodley For Setting Up Fights Via Text
No. 5-ranked lightweight and outspoken fan favorite Nate Diaz has never been friendly when calling out on opponent. In fact, Diaz will rematch reigning featherweight champion Conor McGregor this weekend (August 20, 2016) at UFC 202 in Las Vegas, a rivalry that only begun after Diaz’s now infamous profanity-filled UFC on FOX 17 post-fight interview aimed at the “Notorious” one. With that being said, it’s not too surprising to see Diaz disagree with the way 170-pound champion Tyron Woodley is calling for a fight with former longtime titleholder Georges St. Pierre.
Woodley, who won the title a few weeks back at UFC 201, recently posted a text message conversation with St. Pierre to his official Twitter account:

Speaking on the first installment of the UFC 202 Embedded series, which was released earlier today (August 13, 2016), Diaz blasted the two welterweights, saying that no one wants to see a fight set up that way:
“I seen Woodley and GSP shaking hands and text messaging ‘let’s make a fight’. That’s boring,” Diaz said.
“You just killed the whole thing for our sake. Don’t no one want to see no fight that friends set up. (Expletive) that.”
Diaz, however, didn’t stop there. In typical Diaz fashion, the Stockton bad boy challenged Woodley and St. Pierre to a battle against his team, the Skrap Pack, who he’s always shown how close he is too:
“How about me and my guys versus you and your guys? Now that’s entertainment. Let’s see that. That’s good TV and that’s real (expletive),” Diaz said.
Should more fighters follow the lead of Diaz?
