The Punk calls out ‘b—- a$$’ Nick Diaz, or did he? Nate not impressed
“I knocked out your brother, I’ll knock ur b!^$# ass out in San Jose July 26th. Let’s do it B!^$#, San Jose vs Stockon. F@$% U NICK DIAZ!” said Josh Thomson. Or did he?
UFC on Fox 12 takes place at the SAP Center in San Jose, CA on July 26. San Jose native Josh “The Punk” Thomson knows who he wants to fight.
So he asked his manager to make subtle feelers towards the potential opponent’s management, in hopes of coming to amicable terms.
NO HE DIDN’T – he took to Twitter and started cursing.

Thomson, 35, is coming off a win over Nate Diaz via headick KO and a split decision loss to Benson Henderson. Following the loss, the former Strikeforce lightweight champion had talked about retiring.
Nick Diaz’s last fight was a loss via unanimous decision to then UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, back in March of 2013. Diaz has been in a state of semi retirement since, saying it would take 500k or a title shot get get him back.
Here’s the thing, if you only know one thing about mixed martial arts, know that Nick Diaz ain’t no bitch.
However, getting cursed on Twitter is likely not quite the same as 500,000 dollars, and Diaz didn’t respond, as he was enjoying the Mayweather fight in Las Vegas. Further muddying the waters, Thomson later took it back.

•People that know me, know I wouldn’t ever talk about a fighter like this. My phone was stolen last night while at dinner.
•I respect every fighter and especially the Diaz brothers. @NateDiaz209 an @nickdiaz209 always been cool guys to me and nothing bad to say
•My apologies to anyone who was offended by the tweets and texts.
So UG, what is going here?
Following the theft of Jon Jones’ phone and subsequent heckling of a heckler, is this the beginning of a new trend in MMA social networking??!?
Khabib Nurmagomedov had something to say.
“My phone wasn’t stolen last night while at dinner, and I’m challenge one of DiazBrothers!” he tweeted. “Anytime Anyplace Anyweight! it’s not problem.”
And eventually Nate Diaz had a lot to say.
Nathan Diaz @NateDiaz209
•You got drunk talked a bunch of stupid shit when you woke up you panicked an #backpeddled #sorryasslittlebitch #whatreallyhappened #bereal
•I forget thompson’s twitter name…just type it not hard to find…he may have taken down the tweet but ug caught it.
When a Diaz brother tells you to be real, you should listen, as they are experts.
And eventually Thomson responded one last time.
Josh Thomson @THEREALPUNK
I apologized out of respect for you and brother, if it’s not appreciated, honestly, I don’t give crap what you believe.
