Okay, here we go again. Here we go again. So today's episode is brought to you by Total Wireless, the official wireless provider of UFC. They are in your corner with unlimited 5G data. That will not slow you down. Now, that is a total power move. And yesterday. Or yeah, I get this stuff constantly, right? Because every time somebody addresses me in a certain manner, I get the links of the stuff. And yesterday was Nate Diaz that decided to come at me again, because that's just what he does. Take a listen. This is Nate talking himself into an argument on Theo Vaughn's podcast with me and addressing me and Michael Bisping. There you go. Take a listen. They go out and give criticism to a fighter like an analyst. I'm like, bro, you were never even a fighter. If that's what you do, you're a. And you're gonna analyze and talk about how fighters are and what they should do. And you know it all. You know it all. Well, what happened in your career then? Why are you analysts now? Mr. Know it all somehow D.C. and all of them, you're gonna talk about people fighting. Those are the kind of. They need their asses beat. So Nate is. Is. I don't think. I don't even know if he was prompted to ask. Asked about fighters that become analysts. But then he starts to address us with analysts. So the last time Nate did this, right, Nate called me a. This was my response. I'm a lot of things, guys, but one thing I'm not is nobody. When did it become okay for men to start calling each other out their name like that? That's not cool, man. And to say I'm not a fighter is just. I don't get it. Because, again, I feel like I was actually pretty fair to this dude. But the reality is, the one thing we will not do is compare myself to Nate Diaz because it's different levels, much different. I'm a champion. Two weight classes. I lost three times in my career. Four if you count the fight that was called a no contest. We're not in the same stratosphere in terms of fighters. I'm doing my job. I'm not a. I'm not Going to disrespect nobody, and I'm not going to sit up here and just get disrespected by these dudes. But to call me out my name like that and to say the boy ain't did what the boy did. Luiz going to pull up a whole bunch of videos and run a highlight reel of what I did in my career. And in those pictures, going to be a lot of belts and a lot of championships. I fought the best. Nate, here's the deal. I ain't got a problem with you. When I see. Hey, I'm gonna tip my hat off to you. If you want to say something to me, come up to me, tell me. Tell me what the issue is. We can discuss it like men. I thought I was very respectful in the way that I addressed it, right? When he said, I can't fight and all this. Then you start to put our careers next to each other. And obviously, there is a ocean of difference between me and his career. But this one is centered around money, and this one is centered around. It was very specific. So what I will say is he's thought about this, right? Granted, he yelled at the nih. I didn't want to say all this. Cut it out. Obviously, that's never getting cut when there's a live mic in front of you in that. Nate Diaz, I think, is reacting to what I said about him and Mike Perry's fight and saying that I was excited about it because I know exactly what it is, Right? He said, we pretend to know everything, when in reality we don't. I don't know everything. I don't know everything about fighting. But what my job is to try and educate people who may not be as close to it as I am in terms of what fighting looks like inside the Octagon. We all think that we watch it, and we all think that we know what we're doing, when in reality, there are some details inside of fighting that is just known at a different level. That's it. That's my job. That's my job to do. Nate clearly doesn't like when we do that job. I'm talking me, Dominick Cruz, Michael Bisping, Paul Felder, all these different people. He went on to say, why am I analyzing fights now when I was a champion? Because I didn't make as much money as him. But when you list the people that are analyzing fights, there is one big striking thing that's familiar and is that we were champions, at least for the most part. Michael Bisping, Dominick Cruz. And Daniel Cormier. There's a way to go about getting to that job, to get that position and sit in that chair. Me, I sit on the A team of the ufc. I sit on the pay per views. I sit on the big events. I. I am tasked with a job to help. That's what I do. It's what I love to do. It's not because I didn't make any money. I mean, come on, when you fight for belts as many times as we did, you make your money. But when guys start arguing, and I told Jon Jones this at alf reality, right? When you got two guys that have made millions of dollars and you're arguing about who has a million dollars more than the other, or five or two or three, like you're two people that are doing really good in life, why can't that be happy? I believe that the lowest form of insult is when you have one guy that's doing really well insult the other guy that's doing really well by saying, I've made more money than you. Because at what point, at what point does having money mean you just have money? I mean, seriously. And I made the most money in my biggest fights. I fought Jon Jones and. And that's why I made the most money. Nate Diaz fought Conor McGregor. When Nate Diaz was fighting. When Nate Diaz was fighting, before he fought Conor McGregor, he could not have said, I made more money than anybody. He was making good money. But Conor McGregor, as he has done with many people, elevated Nate Diaz, and that's good for him because he made money. I don't, I don't dislike, I don't wish for one guy to make less money. I don't want fighters to make less. I heard Nate Diaz is making $10 million to fight on this fight card. Yes. To me, that makes me happy. That makes me happy. But again, it's not like I'm sitting over here struggling. I'm doing fine. I'm happy in my life. Now, look, last time I told Nate Diaz that you will not compare us. But let's, let's, let's do that for a second. Let's compare us. Jon Jones, Stipe Miocic. That's it. That's it. Kojiyashi, Hermes Franca, Clay Guida, Joe Stevenson, gray Maynard, Rory McDonald, Benson, Henderson, Josh Thompson, Dosanjos, Conor McGregor, Masvidal, Leon Edwards. That's 13 times. And I'm looking on this, and that's 13 times to 13 people. Did he have any rematches in there? 13 times to 13 people. This is Mine. This is who I lost to. That's who I lost to. 2. 2. 2 people I. In my life, guys. And I'm telling you, for me, it's hard for me to fathom losing to 13 people in the sport that you chose. And when I lost those fights, I was in my mid to late 30s. Mid to late 30s, and two dudes were able to get me. You lost to 13 people. You were losing fights in your 20s. You were in your absolute athletic prime in a sport that you chose, and you got beat multiple times by all these people. Now, hey, I was being respectful. I was being respectful. I was being respectful. I was respectful the first time. I'm respectful of what y' all were doing the last time. But you lost to 13 people in the sport that you chose. That, to me, is crazy. I said yesterday, it's impossible. Somebody corrected me. They said, no, it's not impossible. You can lose that many times. But you go tell Ilya Tori, there are 13 men in the sport that he chooses that could beat him or Islam Makhachev or some of the other fighters around the world. There are so many people that cannot lose to 13 different people, especially in their athletic prime. Maybe it's not impossible, but, I mean, come on. That's crazy. All right, guys, so the final Four set. You got Yukon, Illinois, Michigan, and Arizona. And our good friends at Hard Rock bet, as always, are trying to hook you up. So, first off, Yo, I love UConn's coach. I mean, this dude done got in the referee's face. They had a crazy buzzer beater to get past Duke, but I tell you, hey, Hurley was in this dude's face. I'm like, I don't think you can do that, man. But. But at the end of the day, it is what it is. We got a great Final Four. Honestly, Michigan and Arizona look like they could be the two best teams in the tournament, but it. But, like I said, is what it is. So our good friends at Hard Rock BET are trying to up the ante for you guys on your first 10 bets, up to 50 bucks. You can double them at the Hard Rock Bet app. So I think that I might have picked three of these four to make the Final Four. I might have had Duke up in there, but I picked three of the four in the final four, so you might want to listen to me again. I'm going to go with UConn to make the finals to play against Michigan. Let's go, UConn, Michigan for the national championship. And remember, up to your first 10 bets up to 50 bucks. You can double your winnings at Hard Rock for all new customers. All you got to do is go get that app, download Hard Rock Bet and you got it. But that's what I got. UConn Michigan for the national championship. Make sure you get the Hard Rock bet right now.

this is Radhi Jablukia from a really good cry. I absolutely love getting outside, whether it's a quick walk or a mindful few steps between meetings or even a longer run to just clear my head. But the one thing that can really ruin that for me is shoes that just don't feel right. That's why I started wearing Ultra Running with the Altra Fit. Every step feels comfortable, balanced and strong, like my feet can finally move freely. What really stood out to me was the roomy toe box. My toes actually now have room to spread out, which makes movement feel more natural and comfortable. And when your feet aren't cramped, you feel more balanced. Like every step has a strong, stable foundation. I've noticed that with extra space, my foot muscles get to work building strength so I can actually move with more confidence. Altra fits and moves with you, no matter your pace or your goals. Beginner or marathon runner. They've really become my go to for any kind of running or training. And I always feel like my feet can do exactly what they're meant to do. Feel the difference by visiting altrarunning.com and use my code CRY10 for 10 off.

But you want to talk about me, Mr. Champion? Yeah, I was a champion. I wear that badge proudly. I love that I was a champion. I love that I get to do commentary. This is what I do. I love that Nate Diaz is 40 years old, and he's going to make $10 million to fight, and I am happy for him. When I was 40 years old, that's the fight he was talking about when he said I was picking the guy up, and then I was knocked out. When I was 40 years old, I was in Anaheim fighting for the UFC Heavyweight championship. When I was 41 years old, I was fighting for the UFC championship. That's what I keep telling you guys. That's what I keep telling you, Nathan. We are different people. We're different people. It's kind of surprising that we've never really come across each other. I actually walked through a lobby in the Red Rock Hotel, and Nate Diaz was there sitting there. I didn't talk to him. I actually kind of wish now that I would have stopped and talked to him just to kind of say, hey, what's up, man? Because I don't know. I don't know why the issue started. Maybe it's my friendship with Habib and them, and I will ride with them as long as I can. Forget this dude, if that's the problem. But I should have stopped and said, hey, what's up, man? But I didn't, because I just did. I don't know. I don't know why. I just did. And I said he was fun. I said he worked his way to a title. I like all the talk and the way he is. It's still just not the same. It's just not the same. And then you get these people that kind of support him, and then I love all you guys going, this dude, y'. All. You're crazy. Nate. D.C. and you are different. Hey, come on. I made more money. Well, you made more money in two fights. You fought Conor McGregor. You fought Conor. And also, we don't know what we made. I don't know what he made. I know what I made, and I'm completely happy with what I made. I don't know what Nate Diaz made, but this dude is like. He sits up there and he talks and he talks and he rants. He just kind of loses his mind. Somebody got to check him. At this point, he might need a handler, because guess what? There's a chance he goes and gets beat by Mike Perry. I was there when they had to throw the towel in for Josh Thompson. He said, you cried, Nate. Maybe you should have cried more than maybe we would think you care about winning and losing. Maybe if you cried. Maybe if you cried, Nathan, you wouldn't be so okay with losing. Huh? Huh? Because I Cried because losing to me was like death. That's why I cry. You don't cry. You go to the after party, you go hang out with your friends, you get beat on a Saturday. On Monday, you're talking again like you're the best in the world. Maybe if you cried, we would think that you cared and winning and losing really mattered, because I'm telling you, don't feel like it when it comes to you. Go make your money. Do well for your family, your wife and your children, because there's a side of Nadia that most people don't know. You're a family man. You're not a thug. Go make your money for your family. I'm happy for you. But maybe you should have cried. Or maybe you do what you have to do to make sure you don't have to cry whenever you fight this dude in a couple months. Because guess what? For everything I said about Mike Perry, and Mike Perry must understand what I said, because Mike Perry and I will message each other back and forth, and he respects it. And we're going to do a podcast. Not disrespecting Mike. He's real, though, and he understands. But you up here acting like you mad because somebody talking about how you're average. Reality is, you're average. You've always been, but you've made a lot of money. That's good. But you're average. You can talk all you want now, but it'll never change the fact that you can't go back in time. We can't go back in time and make you better than you were. So you keep punching above your head, right? You punch at Habib. Not the same. Habib should have never paid attention to you. You were never going to get there. You punch at Justin Gaethje. You punch at my man Dustin Poirier. You punching above your head. All these dudes had titles. Let it go. Let it go, guys. I hate when I got to do this. I'm telling you, I hate when I got to do this. And again, I don't dislike Nate Diaz, but that's my real feelings. That's how I feel about Nate. And I would tell Nate the same thing to his face. And guess what? I'm not going to jump around and act like I'm a fight him in the street and have an entourage of people jumping, scream and throw and stuff. I'm not doing all that. But if you ask me what I feel about him in his career, in my face, I will tell him your average, because that's exactly what you were. You won 21 fights, and you lost 13 to a guy like me, that seems impossible. Maybe it's not. But to me, it seems impossible. And I will say that to your face as I say it in front of this YouTube channel. I hate when I gotta do this, guys. I don't like doing it. I don't like doing it. But like my man Dean Thomas said, times they get a little comfortable. And this dude getting way too comfortable. He playing around. Playing around. That's why I've been asking be disrespecting him like that. Because at the end of the day, Ben will tell you the same thing. He's average. But hey, I watch him fight. I will still watch him fight. And if that means he gets more money, more power to you, Nate. But at the end of the day, you have money, I have money. We're both fine. My family's fine, my kids are fine. Your family's fine. Your kids are fine. Be happy. Stop hating. That dude went up there yesterday and just was hating on everybody. Everybody punching above his league. Just punching. I mean, just punching up like this. Punch it to the ceiling. Like, come on, man. Guys, until next time, like, subscribe and tell your friends to tell their friends about my YouTube channel. And I'm doing stuff like this. Until next time. Peace. Wasn't that delicious? So good. Your bill, ladies. I got it. No, I got it. Seriously, I insist. I insisted first. Oh, don't be silly. You don't be silly.

Radhi Deblookia from a really good Cry. I absolutely love being outdoors, even if it's just stepping outside for a bit of fresh air between meals or taking a mindful walk to clear my head.

The Herd with Colin Cowherd | April 4, 2026
In this passionate episode, Daniel Cormier directly addresses Nate Diaz's callout of him (and other UFC analysts) from Theo Von’s podcast. Cormier offers a detailed and fiery response, comparing his own career to Diaz’s, challenging Diaz’s criticisms of analysts, and reflecting on what truly defines greatness and legacy in MMA. The episode offers fans an unfiltered look at fighter pride, respect, and the lines between analysis and personal attack.

Fans get to experience an honest, impassioned defense—from a former champion—about what it means to leave a legacy in the fight game and why achievements can, and should, speak for themselves.
