I can always do five, five–minute rounds, any day, even if I was drinking yesterday or doing whatever. I’m a seasoned athlete, an endurance athlete, and I’m always working out. — Nate Diaz

I never did steroids in my life. I know all the fighters; they are all on steroids. — Nate Diaz

I always took a fight; I always took everybody. I fought everybody. — Nate Diaz

I’m not sure what the UFC’s agenda is when it comes to me. It’s their show, their press. They can change to whatever they want to do at any point. They own this thing. They can do whatever they want. — Nate Diaz

The reason i was off is because everybody sucks. — Nate Diaz

You know when I fight, I’m going to sell out the show. Everyone wants to see someone get knocked out or tapped out. — Nate Diaz

Me calling out Roy Jones is disrespectful. — Nate Diaz

I beat the best guy, and you guys (the ufc) are just treatIng me lIke, vanIshed. — Nate Diaz

I don’t see a superstar out there. I don’t see Georges St–Pierre coming back. — Nate Diaz

I don’t like not having a job. Especially when I started Mixed Martial Arts, this was all I could do. — Nate Diaz

I don’t love to fight; I don’t want to fight. — Nate Diaz

If anybody’s getting a shot, somebody’s getting a shot against me because I’m the guy to beat. — Nate Diaz

There was a rumor I was walking around at 183 pounds. When I left my room to fight Conor McGregor, I was 179 pounds. That means by the time I walked in the cage, I was probably 175, 174 pounds. — Nate Diaz

I knew I was the superIor boxer and the superIor martIal artIst, nothIng surprIsed me except that I got hIt at all. I thInk wIth a full camp I would have been flawless. — Nate Diaz

Whoever has lost a fight in the UFC and hasn’t wanted to fight that guy the next day shouldn’t be in the sport. — Nate Diaz

Money talks. I want the biggest fight. Whoever I’ve got to fight–the biggest show, biggest payday–that’s what I want. — Nate Diaz

I’m trying to stay focused on what I’m doing. I don’t want a whole lot of things going on–people to call back, or text messages or whatever. I chill out, relax a little bit, and then I don’t have those issues. — Nate Diaz

I don’t come and fight for fun. I don’t do that. I don’t like to hurt people for fun. — Nate Diaz

I want to go against the best fighters. That’s why I’m always calling out Georges St–Pierre. I don’t have anything against Georges St–Pierre. I think he’s a great fighter. — Nate Diaz

Every fight, I’m fighting blind opponents. I don’t know who it’s going to be, who I’m fighting, if I’m really fighting them. — Nate Diaz

If you don’t find time to meditate and get all that negative out, and if you don’t have the right people being positive around you, this is a very scary job to have if you don’t learn how to control your fear. — Nate Diaz

I need a vacation anyway. They fight me too much. I’m not going to be the one to back out of these fights. — Nate Diaz

It cost me a lot of money to have a vacation, basically. It’s nice to step back and see there’s more to life. — Nate Diaz

If I had been thinking business since I was 21, I’d be a rich man right now. — Nate Diaz

It’s just kinda irritating to me that we’re awarding people in mixed martial arts for trying to move away and not finish the fight. — Nate Diaz

I want to fight the best guy. I always want to fight the best guy. — Nate Diaz

People don’t understand: I’ve had 37 fights, three to five fights every year, for 17 years. That does something to somebody. These suspensions are the only vacations I’ve ever had. — Nate Diaz

I’m scared of any fighter I’ve ever fought because they are some dangerous people to be dealing with. That’s also where the anxiety comes from. — Nate Diaz
