Nate Diaz Blasts CM Punk Signing With UFC – Details

One thing MMA fans tend to like about the Diaz brothers is that they tend to always say what is on their minds and they do not mince words. This week, Nate Diaz did just that when he discussed the UFC’s recent signing of former WWE wrestler CM Punk to an MMA contract. You can check out highlights of Nate Diaz’s comments below:

Diaz on Punk signing with the UFC: “I don’t dig it. He has got no fights. I know he’s a big draw. I looked him up. Everyone’s going to buy tickets. It’s going to be great for the venue and the UFC, but at the same time, it downgrades all the fighters.”

Diaz on Punk being an amateur: “He might do great, but why does he get a chance? He’s an amateur. You’re going to put an amateur in there with pros? That makes us all amateurs, so I think it’s ridiculous. As far as I’m concerned, f-ck him, f-ck the whole situation. Anybody who takes that fight is tripping.”

Diaz on saying fighters cannot just switch over to another sport: “If I want to, I can’t go play in the NBA – not even Stefan Struve’s big ass. He can’t go play in the NBA if he wants to because he feels like making a change. For a publicity thing? They wouldn’t pay him no money, and they wouldn’t even let him play. It’s ridiculous. I don’t think you should just let some millionaire WWE guy just come on over and play a little game, like have fun with his career. I’m over here busting my ass, fighting for 10 years and doing my thing and having a serious job that I have to do for this. And this guy is going to come over and probably get paid more than everyone in the room.”
