“I’m good I’d rather fight real fighters. And never back track to the minor leagues p***FL… Fight urself dips**.”

“Look, I respect Nate ’cause he’s the people’s champ,” Davis said. “He’s a man’s man, his standup is all standup, but he said, ‘I’ll do it in the PFL SmartCage’ two minutes to you after the fight. He’s got a standing offer of between 10 and 15 million, and he’s hiding behind a rock.”
Davis mentioned that the former UFC fighter has a big money fight in front of him which can earn him 10 to 15 millions. The PFL founder showed his respect to Diaz but claimed the former UFC lightweight was hiding behind the rock.
