Las Vegas, Nevada (USA) – By batting Donald Cerrone’s $1000 hat off his head, Nate Diaz signaled his bad intentions for their UFC 141 co-main event at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, this Friday night.
“He was trying to tip his hat into my face and I’m no punk who will take that,” Diaz said afterwards. “He was mumbling some stupid crap about me needing to bring it. He don’t even believe what he’s saying. He’s trying to find confidence from somewhere. I will knock something else off his head Friday.”
‘Cowboy’ Cerrone said: “I’m not getting paid to fight today. I get paid on Friday when it counts. Let’s see if he’s brave enough to swat my hat off on Friday. Let’s see if he even comes close. Today, I acted like a professional. Friday, I’m gonna make him pay.”
LOL, I just watched ufc countdown where Nate almost came off as the nice guy (which I believe he really is) Its good to see him build a fight up. IMO the Diaz brothers are amazing at pre-fight build up. Good matchup too, I’m looking fwd to seeing the ‘stockton slap’ vs the more traditional striking from Cerrone. The ground game could get interesting as well…
