""This fool is walking around with my title. This fool actually won the title one time, and I said I'll fight Oliveira, I know I'll beat Oliveira. And then Oliveira's like, 'No thanks, homie, I'll try to fight for big stuff, world championships.'... And then few months later, after Conor breaks his leg, this fool's like, 'I'll fight Conor McGregor.' I thought you wanted bigger and better things, you're picking on people who are on the downfall.""
""I believe they wanted me to come back and fight Conor McGregor, not Oliveira. I'm gonna fight for my belt that I created, that I deserved... And they're like, 'We want you to come back, and maybe later...' I'm like, 'OK, well, you know what?""
Nate Diaz, who conceptualized the UFC's BMF belt, expressed frustration over Charles Oliveira's decision to call out Conor McGregor instead of accepting a fight with him. Diaz believes he can defeat Oliveira and feels disrespected by Oliveira's choice to pursue a match with McGregor, who is recovering from an injury. After leaving the UFC, Diaz was in negotiations for a return but opted to fight Mike Perry instead when the UFC hesitated to offer him a match for the BMF title.
