It’s no secret that UFC President Dana White has an icy relationship with the Diaz brothers, more so with Nate Diaz, so it’s no surprise he got fired up when his manager called him out on Twitter.

This Friday, Kogan responded to a recent quote from White where he stated that he doesn’t care how long Nate sits on the sidelines since “he doesn’t move the needle.”

“4.4 mil 3rd highest, 2.4 mil on the night f***ing Mayweather fought and Mosley was co-main and 1.2mil (sic) on s*** TUF finale don’t move needles?” Kogan asked.

The UFC’s head honcho attacked like an angry viper with his response.

“@MikeKogan hey Kogan u scumbag POS if Nate didn’t listen to ur (sic) dumb ass he wouldn’t be in this position. Quit f***in (sic) kids careers dirtbag,” White tweeted back.

Earlier in the week, Nate Diaz tweeted his displeasure that Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone was headlining UFC Fight Night 45, a fighter he had defeated decisively at UFC 141 in December 2011.

White was quick to defend the former WEC title challenger, stating that there’s nothing wrong with a guy who loves to fight and that he could care less how long Diaz decides to remain out of action.

Diaz is just 1-2 in his past three fights and hasn’t fought since November TKO win over Gray Maynard, but is insistent on receiving six-figure paydays to fight and/or another title shot.
