DIAZ AND CERRONE READY FOR WAR AT UFC 141
Dec 30, 2011 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- By batting Donald Cerrone’s $1000 hat off his
head, Nate Diaz signaled his bad intentions for their UFC 141
co-main event at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, this Friday night.
“He was trying to tip his hat into my face and I’m no punk who will take that,” Diaz said afterwards. “He was mumbling some stupid crap about me needing to bring it. He don’t even believe what he’s saying. He’s trying to find confidence from somewhere. I will knock something else off his head Friday.”
‘Cowboy’ Cerrone said: “I’m not getting paid to fight today. I get
paid on Friday when it counts. Let’s see if he’s brave enough to
swat my hat off on Friday. Let’s see if he even comes close. Today,
I acted like a professional. Friday, I’m gonna make him pay.”
