For whatever reason, Nate Diaz has chosen to remain in the sidelines. The 32-year-old Stockton native last fought at UFC 202 in August 2016, and has since turned down all fight offers, according to UFC president Dana White.
In the past, Diaz has been adamant about being paid and getting “the right deal” before signing on for another fight, but most observers believe he is waiting to face Conor McGregor for a third time. According to McGregor’s manager Audie Attar, Diaz would need to “get Conor excited” in order to land that opportunity.
