Nick Diaz News

Thomas Taylor - November 11, 2019

During a recent interview with ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, Nick Diaz seemingly opened the door to a future fight with Jorge Masvidal. While he also claimed he has no interest in fighting again, he added that he took issue with some of Masvidal’s recent comments to his brother Nate, and hinted that he’d be willing to fight Masvidal inside AT&T Stadium for the right price. “All I see is f*cking dollar signs right now,” Diaz said of Masvidal (via MMA News). “It’s not on me. You wanna talk about baptizing my younger brother, that’s on you. I never had nothing disrespectful to say, but you don’t talk about baptizing my younger brother. So you’re already in a f*cked up position if you fight with me. You don’t f*cking talk about baptizing someone’s younger brother. That’s my baby brother, you don’t talk like that to nobody. So who rides on who’s side?

Much to the elation of fight fans, Nate Diaz has fought twice this year, and from the sounds of it, will do so again in the future. His brother Nick Diaz, however, does not seem to have much interest in fighting again. The elder Diaz brother was asked about a potential comeback in a recent interview with Ariel Helwani. He claimed he has no interest in fighting again, but added that it’s not really up to him.

Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal were expected to battle for the UFC’s first and only BMF title at UFC 244, scheduled for November 2 in New York. Regrettably, Diaz has had a run-in with the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), which has cast doubt on this main event contest. While this bout is now in jeopardy, former UFC welterweight contender Dan Hardy — a notable BMF in his own right — has decided to rank the 10 baddest motherf**kers in UFC history.

Not long after Nate Diaz announced that an adverse United States Anti-Doping Agency test result had forced him out of his UFC 244 main event battle with Jorge Masvidal, Dustin Poirier took to social media to share his thoughts on the situation. Poirier, who was briefly targeted to fight Diaz late last year, was fresh out of surgery. Despite his condition, he did not hold back.

Colby Covington and Nick Diaz have gone back-and-forth in interviews trash-talking one another. It even got to the point where Diaz challenged Covington to a fight. “I’m not gonna sit here and call the man a liar, I never heard about it, I just found out,” Diaz said of Covington’s trash talk to TMZ Sports. “If you wanna fight, you know where to find me. I’m not a hard guy to find. Step in my motherf**king range right here. Come at me, bro.”

Georges St-Pierre feels Nick Diaz had the potential to be a UFC champion. Those who witnessed Diaz’s reign as the Strikeforce welterweight title holder certainly haven’t forgotten just how talented the Stockton native was. Diaz had three successful title defenses under the Strikeforce banner, including an epic battle with Paul Daley that ended with just three seconds left in the opening round.

Former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, who is retired from competition, recently explained that he has nothing to gain by rematching his former foe Nick Diaz. “I think this guy’s gonna hate me until the day I die. It’s unbelievable,” St-Pierre told Chael Sonnen of Diaz. “I know he doesn’t like me, and he looks to get me all the time. But, I genuinely like the guy. I’m telling you the truth.

Tyron Woodley once wanted to share the Octagon with Nate and Nick Diaz, but now he’s thinking about training with them. Woodley hasn’t been shy in the past about wanting major fights. When he was the UFC welterweight champion, Woodley was aiming for the likes of Conor McGregor, Georges St-Pierre, Michael Bisping, and the Diaz brothers. Fast forward to 2019 and Woodley finds himself training with the now-retired St-Pierre. If “The Chosen One” has his way, then some sparring sessions with the Diaz brothers could be next.

Nate Diaz returned to the Octagon at UFC 241 and successfully beat Anthony Pettis via unanimous decision. After the fight, he called for a fight against Jorge Masvidal, but he also wants George St-Pierre to fight his brother, Nick Diaz. The former two-division UFC champion St-Pierre retired earlier this year but hasn’t fought since his 2017 win over Michael Bisping at UFC 217. The Canadian fought Nate’s brother Nick at UFC 158 in 2013. Despite the fact that St-Pierre won via dominant unanimous decision, the younger Diaz brother wants to see a rematch.

Nate Diaz’ signature ‘Stockton slap’ was back on display against his opponent Anthony Pettis at UFC 241. The welterweight fighters went at it for three rounds, with Diaz ultimately securing the unanimous decision victory. In the midst of the fight, Diaz certainly did his Stockton homies proud with his signature move.

Colby Covington had some harsh words for Nick Diaz following a report that the Stockton native has resumed training. The former UFC interim welterweight champion, Covington, recently took to Twitter where he took the following shot at Diaz over his alleged comeback.

One of the most popular fighters in the UFC may be on his way back to the Octagon. The last time we saw Nick Diaz fight was in January 2015 where he suffered a decision loss to Anderson Silva at UFC 183. The bout was later ruled a no-contest, this after both men failed drug tests. It’s been over four years since then and we haven’t heard much fight news from the Diaz camp. There were rumors of a Jorge Masvidal matchup back at UFC 235 in March, but that fight never happened. We continue to wait and see if Nick Diaz will ever return, and now, finally, it appears there’s some light at the end of the tunnel.

Over the weekend, former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor made yet another call for a fight with Hollywood actor and UFC shareholder Mark Wahlberg. I challenge Mark Walhberg on the very same card.Back when mark wahlberg was marky mark, I’d’ve still slapped the ears off him and took my ufc shares back.#Shares #Streams #Dazn #Espn McGregor Sports and Entertainment

Chris Taylor - May 25, 2019

Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has offered up an interesting idea as to who Conor McGregor should call out next. The Irishman appears to be on the outside looking in as the promotions continues to book key lightweight matchups that do not include the ‘Notorious’.

Georges St-Pierre is now officially retired. As expected, the Canadian MMA legend announced the end of his fighting career at a Thursday morning press conference at the Bell Centre in Montreal., the very same arena he fought in so many times. In the wake of this news, many top fighters took to social media to offer Georges St-Pierre messages of respect and congratulations. Not everybody, however, has love for the former welterweight and middleweight champ.

Over the last few weeks, Nick Diaz has given us more and more reason to believe he’ll never fight again. One comment in a recent Instagram story, in particular, suggested his days as pugilist have come to an end. “I don’t want to hurt nobody, I just want to party,” he said.

Speaking at the UFC 234 post-fight press conference, Anderson Silva called for a rematch with former Strikeforce champion Nick Diaz, who he battled to a no contest in early 2015. In fact, Silva claimed he’d actually been in contact with Diaz’s team about this fight. “I think it’s a very interesting fight,” Silva told the media on the scene (via MMAjunkie). “I talked to Nick’s manager a couple months ago, and Nick said, ‘OK, let’s go do it. Let’s talk to Dana (White).’ I’m just waiting for Dana.”

Last night, in the co-main event of UFC 234, middleweight legend Anderson Silva lost a decision to surging middleweight contender Israel Adesanya — but he’s not ready to hang up the gloves quite yet. Instead, Silva is hoping to return to the cage at UFC 237, which goes down this May in Curitiba, Brazil. Post-fight, the Brazilian reiterated his desire to fight on this card, and named Nick Diaz, who he battled to a no contest in 2015, as potential opponent.
