Dana White has always said that it’s difficult to deal with the Diaz brothers. While Nick Diaz might be out of competition, Nate continues to be in the conversation about who he will fight next. It’s a rarity to see Nate Diaz put out a tweet, but when he does, it’s more often than not, targeted at somebody. Recently, Nate Diaz tweeted the word, “Welcome” and it left fans wondering what Diaz was trying to say. Amid the increasing negotiation disputed between fighters and the UFC, Diaz had earlier tweeted “U boys are growing up,” seemingly hitting out at Jorge Masvidal, Jon Jones, and other fighters who have recently raised their voice against the partial pay to the fighters. However, it’s hard to determine who Nate was referring to when used the word, “Welcome.”

MMA fans were quick to jump in, trying to decipher the meaning of the cryptic tweet. Some called it Nate Diaz welcoming Jorge Masvidal, Jon Jones, and Conor McGregor to the club. A club that has seen Nate Diaz fighting against the UFC for fighter’s pay, and has caused increasing difficulties for UFC during the negotiations for the fight. Just last week Jorge Masvidal claimed that UFC was playing, and the fighters don’t get enough for their work inside the octagon. Jon Jones recently vacated the light heavyweight title, after much back and forth with Dana White over the similar matter. However, what was the most shocking thing to hear was McGregor calling retirement after blaming the company for offering him “stupid fights”, and blamed them for their alleged display of “power.”
