NICK DIAZ WANTS TO FIGHT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

By David Tees on 3/7/2023 5:45 PM

Nick Diaz last competed at UFC 266 in September of 2021, suffering a third round TKO loss to former UFC Welterweight Champion Robbie Lawler.

Despite the year-plus layoff, Diaz is looking to return to the Octagon as soon as he possibly can.

“I’m asking to fight as soon as possible,” Diaz told Inside Fighting (transcript via Farah Hannoun of MMA Junkie). “Not Jon Jones though… yeah, something like that (Israel Adesanya or Alex Pereira). I always want to fight the best.”

Diaz hasn’t won a fight in over a decade, with his last win coming over former two division UFC champion BJ Penn at UFC 137 in October of 2011.
