Midnight Mania! Conor McGregor slayer, Nate Diaz, won’t answer UFC’s call unless its worth $20 million

Welcome to Midnight Mania, where Nate Diaz ain’t gonna be no ho! In fact, he won’t even answer his phone for less than $20 million. We’ve also got Max Holloway getting honored in Hawaii, Roy Nelson doing the mannequin challenge with Mike Tyson, and Ilir Latifi getting a pin removed from his toe.

The exact quote from Diaz (via MMA Fighting):

"I'm only fighting at lightweight for a big fight or 20 million just to take the call. Until then, I'm just living my life."

This is what happens in the rare instance when a fighter both knows his worth, as Diaz now does, has leverage — UFC knows a trilogy with its money-making machine, Conor McGregor, is perhaps its most-watched pay-per-view (PPV) event ever.
