"You know Nate Diaz was here, acting like a b***h. Everyone wants that fight [Paul vs. Diaz], he tried to fight people in the hallway, you know. Nate, stop fighting people for free, let's do it in the ring okay. I know you're a little slow buddy, but it's okay we can make that fight happen. It's typical of him, that's what he likes to do. He's a street gangster he likes to act tough."
