UFC lightweight contender Nate Diaz recently spoke to ESPN about his upcoming tilt with fellow contender Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone.
“I feel like I’m better than all the guys in my division. I don’t see where any of them are better than me. He’s definitely a guy that likes to fight and come forward. I think I’m better than him everywhere. On the feet, he better knock me out, if not, he’s gonna be in trouble.”
Never shy for a response, “Cowboy” Cerrone replied with the following:
“He’s got good stand-up, if the fight goes to the ground he’s his jiu-jitsu is very good. All that aside? That motherfucker is game. If we bumped into each other out in the parking lot and said what’s up, we’re throwing down. To me, I like that mentality. You can’t teach that, they come to fight, and me too. You don’t have to be from Stockton to be tough. Come fight night? Let’s go motherfucker.”
