Nate Diaz hasn’t been seen much in the MMA world since his blockbuster Aug. 2016 rematch against Conor McGregor, but he’s certainly found his name in the headlines.
Diaz has been the subject of multiple callouts from Tony Ferguson over recent weeks, and on Wednesday, Diaz revealed the UFC offered him a fight against Ferguson for July 8 at UFC 213 — a fight he initially accepted, before changing his mind due to the “circumstances” of the deal.
“I said, ‘right now I’m in (triathlon) race season, but if you want to pull me out of race season, yeah, let’s do it,” Diaz said on a special Wednesday edition of The MMA Hour.
