Nate Diaz was plotted prior to a potential UFC return.
The UFC -Superster has been out of the Octagon for a while. Diaz, 40, fought his contract against Tony Ferguson in 2022 and became a free agent after his entry victory over UFC 279.
Since then, Diaz has taken the will of Jake Paul and former BMF champion Jorge Masvidal and revenge on Masvidal of their first BMF title in 2019.
Diaz, still a free agent, showed an interest in a UFC co -back earlier this year and recently focused on the current BMF champion Max Holloway after his successful title defense on Dustin Poirier on UFC 318.
Legendary referee John McCarthy claims that Holloway would not only defeat Diaz, but would dominate him in a potential fight with good weight. His fellow gastheer says that just about everyone in the UFC would do.

Josh Thomson says that Nate Diaz would not beat anyone in UFC today, except perhaps Daniel Rodriguez
Josh Thomson, the only hunter that Diaz has eliminated, does not think that Diaz would do well against the current Welterweight division.
“I don't think he beat someone,” Thomson said about his former enemy about weighing in Podcast.
“However, there are some fights that I would not mind to see,” Thomson admitted.
'You could let him fight against Leon [Edwards] again…
“I would look at him and D-Rod,” said Thomson #13-ranged UFC Welterweight Daniel Rodriguez.
“Gangsters in the west coast. There is no one else,” said Thomson about whom Diaz could possibly beat.
“Geoff Neal would kill him …
“The only person I would see is D-Rod.”
The 38-year-old Rodriguez runs on a three-fighter win streak with victories over Kevin Holland, Santiago Ponzinibbio and Alex Morono.
Josh Thomson says there is potential rematch with Nate Diaz
More than a decade after their first fight, Thomson is still interested in fighting again against Diaz.
The former StrikeForce champion said he was in conversation months ago to meet Diaz in a Boks-Cot event, but the game never flourished.
Thomson says he would even fight Diaz in the BKFC ring (bare boxing).
“I would like to leave this thing,” said Thomson about a potential rematch with Diaz.
“There is talk and conversation with his agent, my agent, things like that,” Thomson confirmed constant conversations.
