If you thought UFC star Nate Diaz would let Bruce Buffer take a shot at him without saying anything back, think again.

In response to the longtime octagon announcers message that he should “be thanking the UFC and bowing to Dana White,” Diaz issued a fiery response late Sunday night on Twitter.

Bruce Buffer wtf get off the Ufc nuts your bowing down right now tellling me to bow down? (expletive) that u keep bowing down.
I Bow down to no one ever
for alll the money n the world…

Buffer’s criticism stems from an incident earlier this month, with Diaz showing up late to a news conference for an announcement of his fight with Dustin Poirier. Diaz left before it was over after the UFC announced a title fight between lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov and former champ Conor McGregor.

Then afterward, Diaz said maybe he wouldn’t fight after all on account he’s been underpromoted by the UFC, which is what Buffer took issue with.

“I love Nate, but he’s always got a bad taste in his mouth,” Buffer said. “Nate, I heard you made $7 (million) or more dollars on your last fight. I don’t want to hear you complaining about being underpromoted by the UFC.

“You should be thanking the UFC and bowing to Dana White every time you see him, (and) Ari Emmanuel, Patrick Whitesell. You’ve got $7 (million) or more dollars gross, before taxes, maybe much more – which I love knowing that you have, Nate. Please – I don’t want to hear any more.”

Diaz hasn’t fought since UFC 202 in August 2016 when he lost a second welterweight fight against McGregor by majority decision. The fight was an immediate rematch of a UFC 196 bout in March 2016, which Diaz won with a stunning second-round submission.

Despite all the posturing, Diaz is still scheduled to fight Poirier at UFC 230 on Nov. 3 from Madison Square Garden in New York. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
