Coach: Nick Diaz’s next fight may not be in the UFC, could be in boxing instead

Dana White, who was initially dismissive about Nick’s return plans, eventually became more optimistic about it. Just a few weeks ago, the UFC president revealed some “promising” progress in the negotiations as he expects the elder Diaz to be back in the Octagon in 2021.

But the recent updates from the Diaz camp seem to say otherwise.
