Over the weekend, UFC Octagon announcer Bruce Buffer made some comments about lightweight contender Nate Diaz<\/a>. Buffer explained that, in his opinion, Nate Diaz’s bellicose attitude toward the UFC is unwarranted. In fact, he said that he felt that Diaz should “bowing” to UFC President Dana White.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cNate, I heard you made 7 or more million dollars in your last fight,\u201d Buffer told\u00a0TMZ<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t want to hear you complaining about being under promoted by the UFC. You should be thanking the UFC and bowing to\u00a0Dana White\u00a0every time you see him. [Endeavor co-CEOs] Ari Emanuel, Patrick Whitesell.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou got 7 or more million dollars gross before taxes, maybe much more,\u201d he added. \u201cWhich I love knowing that you have, Nate. Please, I don\u2019t want to hear any more complaints.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a rather unsurprising twist, Bruce Buffer telling Nate Diaz to bow to the billionaires who run to the UFC did not go over well with the MMA community. And when these comments reached Diaz’s ears, he reacted just as we all expected.<\/a><\/p>\n
