Speaking to Daily Star Sport<\/b> on fightweek before the November 4 bout in Sao Paulo, Diakiese said: "I don't usually take much notice of the fans, they are just there.<\/p>\n
"They'll always be there and I'm just here trying to do my job. But if they're gonna start booing me, that's even better.<\/p>\n
"I feel, to be honest, I fight better when people booing me – so that's pretty good for me."<\/p>\n

Despite that, he remains grateful for the position he is in and won't be dwelling on the past ahead of his 15th UFC bout.<\/p>\n
He concluded: "This isn't about me knowing I've got two losses in a row, it's just always about having to go and try to perform out here.<\/p>\n
