After almost five years away from the sport, former Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz is back in the spotlight.
All it took was a long-winded interview with Ariel Helwani and a few digs at newly-crowned ‘BMF’ champ Jorge Masvidal and, just like that, the eldest Diaz brother is back in hot demand.
Die hard Diaz fans want to see Nick avenge younger brother Nate Diaz, who was beaten to a pulp by Masvidal in the UFC 244 main event earlier this month at Madison Square Garden.
Nick’s former coach and mentor, Cesar Gracie, thinks it would be the perfect matchup for Diaz and a chance for the quasi-retired star to introduce himself to a new generation of MMA fans.
