Everyone has weighed in on the UFC on Fox 10 split decision between former lightweight champion Benson Henderson and contender Josh Thomson, but no one did it quite like Nate Diaz. Diaz took to Twitter on Sunday and posted a rant targeting the promotion, Henderson, Thomson, and champion Anthony Pettis.
We’ve cleaned it up a bit and included some punctuation, but here’s what Diaz wrote in its entirety.
“Last night’s fight was wack. First of all, these guys are here to cause confusion. I’m here to put these ass whoopins down to their maximum effect and you got these guys out here having a wrestling match. They’re smiling and shaking hands and having a good old time instead of fighting for real. They’re play fighting and this sh–’s putting me to sleep. That’s not what I signed up for. Nobody wants to watch that sh–, and it’s definitely causing confusion to the fans and the fighters. I don’t know who’s judging these fights. They both should have lost,” wrote Diaz.
The 28-year-old then turned his attention to Pettis, who was featured as an analyst during the event’s pre-show.
“Then you got this other mother(expletive) playing his Hollywood role on the sidelines in his #sillyasssuits getting paid to sit there and state his bullsh—opinion like anyone gives a (expletive). You been here like two years and pulled out of half your fights, so I don’t know why you think you’re calling the shots. How about you win antoher fight or two and then maybe you can fight me mother(expletive),” wrote Diaz.
“P.S. I thought Thomson’s bitch ass won the wrestling match…”
I would’ve done a interview but they scared to call I think UFC got you all in check… #markspic.twitter.com/rrkqRQwqfj
