Once a UFC -Superster, Nate Diaz from Stockton is currently a free agent after fighting his contract against Tony Ferguson in 2022.
After a memorable 27-Vecht UFC-Run in which he upset Conor McGregor in 2016, Diaz entered the boxing ring where he had Jake Paul and BMF rival Jorge Masvidal in Boxing for the last two years.
Diaz, who has not fought anymore since Masvidal's beating in July, was recently in conversation to rematch another former UFC enemy, Josh Thomson, before it was 'disappeared'.

“If they have me, I would like to go back and f – who is someone there.
“I don't fight there because there is no one to really fight. It is quite slowly rolling.
“When he is back,” Diaz said, when he was asked for a trilogy fight with McGregor.
“Me and he certainly got an unfinished things. Must happen.”
Investing as a short-notice replacement for Rafael dos Anjos, Diaz Conor McGregor served in two rounds at UFC 196. This was the first loss of McGregor under the UFC banner, where he bounced back with a majority decision win over Diaz on UFC 202.
Nate Diaz Name-Dops Ilia Topuria and BMF champion Max Holloway as potential fights
Diaz says that the BMF title is for the most part not impressed by the UFC schedule, that the BMF title is 'the most entertaining' in the promotion at the moment.
Diaz fought for the inaugural BMF title in 2019 against Jorge Masvidal and lost Doctor's Stoppage TKO because of a cut around his eye.
Masvidal, Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway have all wrapped the BMF belt around their waist.
“It is the most entertaining S – there is,” Diaz said about the BMF title.
“I hope you know you are wearing my belt,” Diaz added.
“Those are the guys there I want to fight like Max Holloway. But I would also like to fight other boys, also very well …
'[Ilia] Topuria, he is really good, “Diaz called the former UFC -Fedweight champion.
“But he is smaller than me,” Diaz said about the 5'7 ″ Topuria.
Ilia Topuria moved to the lightweight division after his devastating knockout from Max Holloway on UFC 308 last year and will challenge Charles Oliveira for the vacant title on UFC 317.
Holloway also fights a month later against Dustin Poirier for the BMF title on UFC 318.
Although Holloway and Topuria are some of the biggest names of the UFC, it is worth noting that Diaz said he had finished fighting in the lightweight division (155 pounds) where they both fight.
