Overview
- Brown, speaking Tuesday on The Fighter vs. The Writer, said Diaz is almost certainly making more for the Netflix bout than he would with the UFC.
- Nate Diaz chose Mike Perry on a May 16 Most Valuable Promotions card streaming on Netflix after Dana White said MVP made an offer he could not refuse.
- Diaz has said the UFC offered more for a Conor McGregor trilogy, which he declined due to McGregor’s long layoff, a rationale Brown flatly disputes.
- Reports indicate Diaz’s MVP agreement covers only the Perry fight, and Brown suggested a short, flexible deal likely appealed more than a new UFC contract.
- Perry left the UFC on a 1-4 run and became a BKFC headliner, setting up an active, high-profile opponent for Diaz on a showcase event under boxing promoter Jake Paul’s banner.
