The younger Diaz brother has been known to be just as disrespectful as his older brother Nick, throwing middle fingers at opponents during their bouts and trash talking them constantly, but until recently, you at least thought there was a little more too him than to his brother. His antics weren't quite as manic, and he seemed to at least show up on a regular basis... until he took his ball and went home, demanding more money to fight despite being signed to a contract. It doesn't help that Diaz continues to chirp on Twitter despite not fighting, claiming that Cowboy Cerrone sucks "too much UFC dick" - not the first Twitter incident for Diaz, as he was previously suspended for using a gay slur against fighter Bryan Caraway on the platform (it's interesting to note that Diaz wasn't even fighting Caraway, and targeted him because he happened to win bonus money as a result of Pat Healy's drug test failure in 2013, which saw Healy lose his bonuses). Diaz has been removed from the UFC official rankings page, and it seems like Dana White is happy to let him sit, glad to be rid of this particular nuisance.
