Matt Mitrione blasts 'sellout' UFC exec Matt Hughes for comments on Nick Diaz

Twitter Beef: Matt Mitrione isn't happy with the fighter turned UFC executive for calling Nick Diaz a punk while addressing the situation.

On Thursday evening, Matt Hughes commented on Nick Diaz's ridiculous 5-year suspension with wording that some people didn't appreciate. The former welterweight champion turned UFC executive sent out a string of tweets where he called Diaz a 'punk' that shouldn't have expected leniency, and this didn't sit well with Matt Mitrione.

The UFC heavyweight then decided to put him to task on twitter, and you check out the complete exchange below:
