Nate Diaz Denies Altercation with Cowboy Cerrone Ever Happened

In the build up to UFC 141, there was a story out there about an incident between Nate Diaz and Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone that led to a little animosity between the two fighters.

According to Cerrone, he had approached Diaz and attempted to shake his hand and the Stockton, Calif. fighter slapped his hand away and a grudge was immediately formed.

Well, now Diaz is denying that the altercation ever happened in the first place. He says that he just avoided Cerrone all together, and he's not the bully that his opponent is making him out to be.

"Nothing, he made it up, trying to make me a bully," Diaz said on Tuesday. "I walk the other way when I see him, he's in the same division as me. I've got to do what I've got to do, so that's how it went down."

For all that and more, check out Nate Diaz from the UFC 141 open workout interview:

Haha Lil Nate man.... so simple, so real....

HOW CAN YA HATE A GUY LIKE THAT. All the fake ass fools in the world, its good to see someone not acting.

[RBKL777]

Dude sounds brainless haha good and exciting fighter though.

[RedShogun13]

Nate's a lot more sociable than Nick apparently.

"Are YOU guys enjoying this?" lol

[cruzerwwight]

I'm not mad overgrow, in fact I gave the Diaz brothers a complement on their all around athleticism but it's the way they interview which is depressing. I agree they are within the 10 pound for pound fighters in the world but they would never be main stream. Yes Nick Diaz is a champion Nate can be but has not gotten his shot yet. In the end they are great fighters but are going to be remembered as the stoned brothers from Stockton.

Nick and Nate Diaz are street smart dudes.. they fight to survive in any circumstance. I love these guys, they are close and they are nice as well.

God love Nate...he's 100% just like his brother. He really doesn't like being around someone he is going to fight. Those reports should understand their subjects better. They could have got creative and asked much better questions once they seen Cowboy walk in. Catch Nate in his natural thought process.
