Nate Diaz has always been a man of many words, especially about things he does not agree with. He normally takes to social media to express these thoughts, and he did that again recently.
On Tuesday, the UFC finally announced the location of the much-hyped “Fight Island,” along with three title fights for UFC 251. Among them is the welterweight championship bout between Kamaru Usman and the streaking Gilbert Burns.
In a series of tweets after the bout was made official, the former title contender had these to say.
A few hours later, the champion fired back at Diaz.
The challenger also joined in on the fun, and he took it upon himself to break down Diaz’s career.
Burns has been on a tear with a six-fight win streak. His title contender status was established through a shutout victory over former champion Tyron Woodley on May 30th.
UFC 251 kicks off the “Fight Island” events. It will take place on July 11 at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.
