Nate Diaz Puts Anthony Pettis, Khabib Nurmagomedov on Blast for Injury Woes

UFC lightweight Nate Diaz isn't happy about the injury plague in the UFC either, guys. 

Late Thursday evening, it was announced on Fox Sports Live that former UFC lightweight champion Anthony "Showtime" Pettis was injured and out of his fight against Myles "Fury" Jury at UFC on Fox 16 (h/t MMAjunkie's Mike Bohn). According to the report, he will be replaced by Edson Barboza at the July 25 event. 

A little over a week before this announcement, another top-10 lightweight clash dissipated after Khabib Nurmagomedov was forced out of his UFC 187 bout opposite Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone with a knee injury, per MMAjunkie's John Morgan. 

In response, Diaz took to Twitter to let the world know how he feels about his peers' injuries, dropping the hashtag #bothmadefromglass in the process. 

The Stockton bad boy has a point. 

Both Pettis and Nurmagomedov boast lengthy injury histories that have significantly impacted their careers, while Diaz has never pulled out of a fight, even when he possibly should have. 

The matter, though, is not one of toughness. All UFC fighters are tough, and all UFC fighters legitimately want to fight. 

Pettis and Nurmagomedov, whether it's genetics, improper training techniques or genuinely "freak" occurrences, just can't seem to get out of their own way and piece together a fighting schedule that puts them inside the Octagon more than once or twice a year. 

The irony is that Diaz, despite being healthy, has fought just twice since November 2013 himself. Pettis, for reference, has also fought twice in that stretch, while Nurmagomedov has fought once. 

So while Diaz himself may not be made of glass, something with his fighting schedule is clearly busted.
