In a video released earlier this week, Nate Diaz reacted to CM Punk joining the UFC and said that it is a joke and he doesn’t dig it, but admitted that while Punk is a big draw and that his appearance will be great for the venue and UFC, he feels that it downgrades all of the fighters.

Diaz said that whoever takes the fight against Punk should get paid more than him or at least the same amount and said that Punk is an amateur in the business and resents that he will probably get paid more than other fighters for his fight next year.
