News came out recently that former Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz could have his first MMA fight since his no contest with Anderson Silva in 2015. There was even a report saying that a bout between him and prospect Khamzat Chimaev was offered, but don’t get your hopes up if you’re actually a fan of this matchup.
Diaz’s manager Kevin Mubenga basically shut down the idea in a statement sent to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani.
“He’s a good prospect, respectfully, but he hasn’t earned the right to a mega-fight vs. Nick Diaz,” Mubenga said.
