The Diaz brothers are next level fight promotion chess players. Moments after Nate Diaz cut maybe the best promo in UFC on Fox history, he was already discussing with his brother Nick the implications of the interview. Crazy like a Stockton street fox.
In this new backstage video while Diaz talks to UFC public relations staff and gets checked by the medical staff, the Diaz brothers have impromptu meeting of the minds. From the sound of it the only reason Nate Diaz took a dangerous fight with Michael Jonson was to set himself up for a mega fight with current UFC lighting rod Conor McGregor.
Was Diaz versus McGregor in Ireland the plan all along?
