UFC lightweight Myles Jury is undefeated at 14-0 and is looking to climb the ladder in the division. He accepted a bout with Nate Diaz, but according to his Twitter account, Diaz has yet to reply.
.@NateDiaz209 I respect u a lot, BUT… I confirmed to fight you & have been waiting on you for a week. Are we getting after it or what?

Jury (14-0) is 5-0 inside the UFC with victories over the likes of Michael Johnson and most recently Diego Sanchez. A fight against the younger Diaz brother would definitely bring Jury’s name to the casual fan and boost his value.
Hours after Jury posted the Tweet, Diaz responded and value was definitely on his mind.
Bout my money #breakbread till then don't call ..

Diaz (17-6) has not fought since his TKO victory against Gray Maynard at The Ultimate Fighter 18 Finale in November of last year. The win earned Diaz a $50,000 bonus for ‘Knockout of the Night’ honors.
Unless the UFC is willing to give Diaz the raise he believes he deserves then we will likely see him sitting on the sidelines for some time.
