PHOENIX – Fight fans might like him, but Nate Diaz doesn’t receive the same amount of adoration from Justin Gaethje.
At a UFC 274 pre-fight news conference Wednesday, Gaethje let his true feelings come out when MMA Junkie asked him about a recent exchange he had with Diaz on social media.
“That motherf*cker has lost over 15 times, like, come on,” Gaethje said. “So for him to be criticizing me for one loss, I found it funny. And I think he’s jealous because he’s done. He’ll never be here. He’ll never be fighting for a world championship. He’ll never achieve a world championship. In the history books, I’m already a world champion. I don’t like it. I don’t accept it. I need to make it right on Saturday but I’ll be in the Hall of Fame. He should be, too, but just because the fans love him.”
