When Ariel Helwani asked Donn Davis about his remarks regarding Nate Diaz, this is what he had to say:

I respect Nate cause he's the people's champ, he's a man's man, he's stand-up as all stand-up. But he said, 'I'll do it in the PFL SmartCage', two minutes after the fight. He's got a standing offer between $10-15 Million and he's hiding behind a rock…$10-15 Million, biggest payday of his life.
