Here we go again… Nate diaz He decided to attack me again, because that's what he does. He said that we pretend to know everything, when in reality we don't. I don't know everything, but when you look at those who analyze fights, they have one thing in common: we were champions.
Last time, I told you Nate diaz He can't compare to us, but let's do it anyway. Jon Jones, Stipe Miocic…that's all. Now look at the guys who beat you: Koji Oishi, Hermes França, Clay guida, Dong Hyun Kim, Joe Stevenson, Gray Maynard, Rory McDonald, Benson Henderson, Josh Thompson, Rafael dos Anjos, Conor McGregor, Jorge masvidal, Leon edwards… 13 losses to 13 different fighters.
This is my number of losses (showing two fingers). Two. And when I lost those fights, I was already in my 30s. You were losing fights in your 20s, at your physical peak, in the sport you chose.
And he was defeated multiple times by all those guys. I was being respectful. Yesterday I said it was 'impossible,' someone corrected me and said it's not impossible to lose so many times. And you want to talk about me? Mr. Champion?
Nate diaz He's 40 years old and he's going to earn 10 million dollars to fight, and I'm happy for him. When I was 40, I was in Anaheim (USA) fighting for the UFC heavyweight title. That's what I'm trying to tell you, Nathan: we are different.
Go earn your money, take care of your family, I'm happy for you. But you act like you're annoyed because someone said you're mediocre. The reality is this: you are mediocre. You always have been.
"You won 21 fights and lost 13. And I'd say that to your face, like I'm saying it here. In the end, he's an average fighter," Cormier stated.
