Nate Diaz put UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou on blast while talking about the fighter's pay issue during an interview with Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports:"What is Francis Ngannou doing wrong? I've been doing more right than these m-----------s for years and years. They should have been spitting all that 'I need money' s--t long time ago like I was. I was never no champion and I was saying, 'F--k you, drop me or let me get some f-----g money cracking' and what happened? The stock just raised anyway and nobody was jumping on and now they're like 'What are we doing wrong?' I'm like 'You should have listened to your daddy years ago, m-----------s!'...It's a changing process but I think I was ahead of the changes," said Nate Diaz.You can watch the video below:The backstory for this response by Diaz was a tweet by Ngannou, where 'The Predator' questioned the amount of money UFC fighters were getting for their efforts.It's crazy to think that Logan Paul (0-1) just made $20M on a boxing exhibition.

It’s not an issue of wanting to fight. It’s an issue of wanting to be paid better. Let’s make that clear https://t.co/gVJhWo9seN— BONY (@JonnyBones) March 28, 2021I’ve been talking about getting paid more for over a year now, has nothing to do with France is winning the belt. I fear no man, i’ve been beating up on heavy weight since I was a skinny kid. Gain all this size and strength just to suddenly be afraid? Sure let’s switch narrative— BONY (@JonnyBones) March 28, 2021I always hear about how much the company is growing yet one year later I find myself in the same spot. I put in the work, I’ve done my part. I have completely transformed myself and now I meet a brick wall.. how discouraging— BONY (@JonnyBones) March 28, 2021Nate Diaz will take on Leon Edwards at UFC 263 View this post on Instagram A post shared by Leon "Rocky" Edwards (@leon_edwardsmma)After a long hiatus, Nate Diaz will be returning to the octagon against welterweight contender Leon Edwards.
