Nate Diaz Says He’ll Whoop Conor McGregor & Floyd Mayweather In The Same Night

Nate Diaz didn’t pull any punches in his recent interview on The MMA Hour with MMAFighting‘s Ariel Helwani, as he boldly claimed he could defeat both Conor McGregor and Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather in the same night.

The Stockton native stated that he and UFC President Dana White had a falling out in terms of negotiation when it came to the financials of a McGregor rematch:

“They weren’t happiest about that, but they’re not talking to me about that. But I think were gonna get things figured out.”

Diaz also spoke on rumors that White had reportedly stormed out of their meeting angrily after his request for more money:

“No that was exaggerated, we finished talking and then we all walked out. It wasn’t the worst meeting, it wasn’t the best meeting, but it wasn’t the worst either.”

“They were cool, I was cool, it was just business talk. We didn’t end on the happiest note but I think we’re moving forward.”

Helwani asked Diaz if he believed the UFC was using the Mayweather rumors as a ploy to pressure Diaz into taking the McGregor rematch before it’s too late:

“I do think that, we’re on the same page here.”, Diaz joked. “Thats exactly what I think. Every time I hear about it I get a call.

Fight that mutherf*****, I’ll be right here. I’m the only one that can say I can whoop both their asses in one night.”

Diaz then commented on how he believed he would fare inside the ring against Mayweather:

“Mayweather is the best boxer that there is on winning fights. I’ve never been in high-level boxing matches like that. But I bet I’ll do better that McGregor would.”

While it is very well known that McGregor is obsessed with a rematch against the man who handed him his first loss under the promotion’s banner, Diaz claims he won’t lose any sleep if the bout never comes to fruition:

“I don’t even give a fu**. If I got my ass wooped I’d be begging for the fight. If you don’t want to rematch somebody who beat you, then I don’t know what the f*** your in this for. So I’m not begging for this fight.”

While a rematch between McGregor and Diaz is the obvious angle the UFC is hoping for, it appears we will have to wait until negotiations between Diaz and the UFC improve before seeing the two men throw down inside the Octagon again.
