The atrocious demand has already added a supporter in UFC bantamweight star Sean O’Malley. Diaz, a staunch marijuana advocate and user, got his request for marijuana exemption shot down in a Texas ruling. Therefore, Diaz is ready to risk his boxing debut against ‘The Problem Child‘ as he specified his intent in a tweet that read “We gonna have to move states”. However, ‘Sugar’ believes the former UFC personnel might have a decisive say largely due to his stubborn nature.

Likewise, the #2 ranked bantamweight stated, “I feel like he’s so stubborn and so like, ‘All right. I’m not gonna fight’. Like a dead as* about it that you almost have to move the card.”

“Unless he’s like ‘F*ck. I’d need money’. I can’t imagine that’s the case, or they’d take his bluff and then he says, ‘Fine, I will’ or you know what I mean, right?” he added later.

Following this, after due consideration of factors, O’Malley listed the compelling reasons for not moving the fight.

He pointed out, “I mean, they might have already booked the venue. They might have a date. They might already sold the tickets there. I mean, there’s a lot of reasons to not move it.”
