UFC fan favorite welterweight fighter Nate Diaz goes on a Twitter rant after the promotion failed to find him a viable opponent for his next fight. The Stockton slugger previously lost against the number three ranked fighter Leon Edwards in June 2021. However, he has one fight left on his contract.

Diaz was previously in talks for a clash against the former lightweight title challenger Dustin Poirier. Both the parties verbally agreed to fight. Meanwhile, UFC kingpin Dana White was also interested in making the blockbuster trilogy fight between Diaz and Conor McGregor.

However, all these fights were always in the talks but never in the books. Hence, Stockton’s second child, who has been demanding a fight for a long time, released his frustration on his official Twitter account last night.

At first, Diaz posted a Tweet tagging UFC, Dana White, and a tag aimed at the UFC’s chief business officer Hunter Campbell. He wrote, “I Would like to request to be released from the @ufc @danawhite @hunter. I apologize for asking online but u don’t give me a fight asap I got sh*t to do.”

Following that, the Stockton slugger posted yet another Tweet stating how fighters get released from the UFC but he is unable to buy out his contract.

Diaz wrote, “Mother f**kers be crying cause they get dropped from the ufc I can’t pay out this b*tch.”

Jake Paul responds to Nate Diaz

Ever since his transition to professional boxing, the Ohio native has been wanting to fight the elite fighters from UFC. For this reason, ‘The Problem Child’ has been taking an aim at UFC president Dana White for a long time now.

However, White is not interested in making a fight for Paul yet. Moreover, the latter is going after the UFC boss regarding the fighter’s pay issue. Previously, Paul chimed in his thoughts on the contract conflict between Francis Ngannou and UFC.

Now, the social media star has done the same. In response to Nate Diaz’s tweet, Paul wrote, “Free Nate Diaz,” aiming at the company. The Stockton native is amongst the UFC fighters Paul has been wanting to fight. Hence, his response makes sense.

Is something cooking between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz? What are your thoughts on Diaz taking an aim at White and UFC? Let us know in the comments below.
