News » officials said the company labels fighters

It appears as though the UFC is taking a stand against disgruntled lightweight Nate Diaz. In Tuesdays updated rankings on the organizations website, Diaz was removed from his post as the sixth-ranked lightweight and no longer appears anywhere on the list. MMAFighting.coms Ariel Helwani is reporting UFC officials said the company labels fighters as "active" and if they dont fall under that designation they are ineligible to appear in the rankings. The twist is that Diaz last fought just six months ago, scoring a knockout victory over now eighth-ranked Gray Maynard at "The Ultimate Fighter 18" finale in November. It seems as though his inactivity is a result of recent complaints over his contract. Since his win over Maynard, Diaz frequently voiced his displeasure via Twitter, often requesting to be released by the UFC through social media. UFC president Dana White responded in March saying that Diaz "just signed a new contract that he was happy with a month ago." The situation came to a head when Diaz finally spoke in early April, unleashing a tirade about his paychecks to MMAFighting, claiming he didnt want to fight for "funny money". "They need to be about more money. My contract is all (expletive) up. I want to be paid like these other fighters. Im over here getting chump change," he said. "At this point, theyre paying all my partners and other people I train with are getting real money, and its too embarrassing for me to even fight again for the money theyre paying me. So they can either pay me or let me go. Im with that." At this point it can be assumed Diaz will remain off the list until he his booked again, which may be sooner than later after White told reports at UFC 172 that Diaz had apparently reached out to UFC matchmaker Joe Silva. "Nate said hes ready to fight," White said, "so, he told Joe to call him." Christian Djoos Jersey .

Of the six strikers named in interim manager Gareth Southgates squad for the games against Scotland and Spain, Arsenals Theo Walcott is the leading scorer in domestic football this season with eight goals while the man Cottee believes will start up front, Harry Kane, has only just begun his comeback from an ankle injury.Leicesters Jamie Vardy, whose 25 goals for the Premier League champions last term saw him included in Englands Euro 2016 squad, has not scored since September 10, while captain Wayne Rooney has only scored once in his past 16 games for club and country. Such statistics give Cottee cause for concern ahead of Fridays World Cup Qualifier against Scotland at Wembley. Arsenal striker Theo Walcott is Englands best-performing forward this season, with eight goals to his name Theo (Walcott) is the in-form player but you wouldnt say hes an out-and-out centre-forward and so I think Harry Kane will lead the line, although he has only just come back from injury, Cottee told Sky Sports News HQ.He didnt even play 90 minutes at the weekend so hes short of fitness. (Jamie) Vardy is out of form, (Daniel) Sturridge has not been playing, and (Marcus) Rashford and Wayne Rooney have not been in the Manchester United team.Ive always believed that you should pick England players on form, so that should mean Theo Walcott leading the line but I dont think Gareth Southgate will do that.Its rather worrying as an England fan. Whos going to lead the line and whos going to score the goals? Former England defender Stuart Pearce hopes Gareth Southgate wins his remaining two games as interim manager Kane played 73 minutes of Tottenhams 1-1 draw at Arsenal on Sunday but looked exhausted by the time he was replaced by Vincent Janssen, although he did score from the penalty spot.ddddddddddddCottee believes from his own experience that a centre-forward will need at least half a dozen games to recover their full match sharpness.I always found when I came back from an injury that it takes six games before you fully recover your sharpness, especially as a striker, he said.You get through the first two or three games on adrenaline. I think hell get through the Scotland game but you wont see the real Harry Kane for another four or five games after this one.
