Tony Ferguson responds to ‘little b*tch’ Nate Diaz: ‘Act interested’ or ‘get the f*ck out’

Several weeks have passed since Nate Diaz revealed that he was likely going to turn down a July 8 fight against Tony Ferguson for UFC 213. The match-up would have served as the centerpiece for this year’s International Fight Week, but Diaz dismissed it for numerous reasons, citing failed negotiations with the UFC, a disinterest in helping manager Audie Attar — who manages both Ferguson and UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor — and a belief that Ferguson was forcing a beef that didn’t exist simply because he was told it would pressure Diaz into accepting the fight.
