Teammate Jake Shields explains why the Diaz brothers haven’t fought in so long

Many UFC fans have been missing the Diaz brothers. Nick and Nate are polarizing figures in the game, and have both carved out large fanbases for their fighting styles and their talk in and out of the cage. But Nate hasn’t fought since a loss to Conor McGregor back in 2016. Nick hasn’t fought since January of 2015.

While Nate was recently booked against Dustin Poirier, he did his best on social media to act like he wasn’t going to show up to UFC 230. It turned out to be a moot point anyway since Poirier got injured and had to pull out.
