Nate Diaz will be fighting out the last bout in his current UFC contract this weekend when he faces Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 279. What happens after is still hanging in the balance, but as he told ESPN’s Brett Okamoto in a recent pre-fight interview, the idea of re-signing has been a long shot.
“Nowhere near,” said Diaz when asked about his chances of re-signing.
The 37-year-old Diaz then revealed what he wanted in return to make him ink a new deal.
“One time, I said ‘Alright, look. If I’m gonna re-sign since you guys are so adamant…’ if they’re so adamant about it and they kept coming back at me.
