Nate Diaz Isn't a Fan of Tyson Griffin

I never knew that Nate Diaz and Tyson Griffin used to train together under Gracie jiu-jitsu but then left the team and is representing Team Couture. Guys leave teams all the time but Diaz has taken exception to Griffin leaving.

It started when Diaz was asked who he'd like to fight next and he was pretty adamant about fighting Griffin. He went on to say Griffin is a 'disloyal piece of shit' he doesn't give a 'rat's ass' that they used to train together, he wants to fight him. He states that Griffin was only an hour away from the team and Diaz was pretty offended when he moved to Vegas to train with Couture.

Diaz looked awesome against Alvin Robinson the other night submitting him in the first round. Tyson Griffin pushes the pace tremendously and doesn't seem to run out of steam. Of his 4 UFC fights 3 went the distance. He lost a close decision to Frankie Edgar in a fight which he had Edgar in a kneebar so tight he could hear Edgar's knee popping. Edgar wouldn't tap and won the decision in a great fight. He also won a controversial decision over another cardio machine in Clay Guida. Most people felt Guida won the fight but it was a real close decision and could have gone either way. He most recently unanimously decisioned Thiago Tavares in September.

No one has pushed Diaz with the kind of pace Griffin can push but that's because his jiu-jitsu is insane and he submits everyone the split second something opens up. This fight has to happen, and has the ability to be a co-main eventer.
