Nate Diaz believes Dillon Danis looked for a way out of his scheduled fight with Mike Perry, and he found it.<\/p>\n

Danis was expected to collide with Perry in the main event of Duel Arena 1 back in late August. \u201cEl Jefe\u201d suffered an injury<\/a> and was replaced by Brandon Jenkins, who scored an upset win after Perry suffered a dislocation early in the fight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Diaz and Danis traded verbal shots on social media amid the injury news<\/a>. Danis even made things personal by saying that Diaz abandoned his brother Nick, and claimed the two have to be separated by security when they attend the same events.<\/p>\n

Mike Bohn of MMAJunkie<\/a> and other reporters caught up with Diaz during the launch event for Scott Coker\u2019s new Ki MMA promotion. The Stockton legend accused Danis of cutting himself to avoid fighting Perry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what killed it all? Why are you fighting that guy? He\u2019s f*cking, not a fighter,\u201d Diaz said. \u201cHe\u2019s a f*cking p*ssy b*tch. People keep falling for this. I\u2019m like, \u2018Anybody who wants to fight him, beat his ass in a bathroom somewhere.\u2019 You don\u2019t have to fight that guy. He\u2019s f*cking not an eligible opponent. It\u2019s embarrassing that he\u2019s even trying to fight people. He\u2019s scared. He cut himself open just not to fight. That\u2019s crazy to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diaz is dismissive of a potential prizefight with Danis because he doesn\u2019t believe the outspoken Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist would show up. Danis has been known for causing a scene, whether it\u2019s a street brawl with Anthony Taylor<\/a> outside a press conference or being disqualified in a boxing match with Logan Paul<\/a> or a brawl with Khamzat Chimaev\u2019s team during a RAF match<\/a>. Many believe things could get out of hand if Diaz vs. Danis is ever booked under any promotion.<\/p>\n
