Dana White hopes Nate Diaz fights in 2021 but ‘not counting on it’

UFC president Dana White has no interest in Nick Diaz returning to the UFC anytime soon, but what about younger brother Nate?

White would like to see Diaz make a UFC comeback in 2021 but admitted that he’s not counting on it.

“I hope (he fights this year),” White said during a recent ESPN+ fan Q&A with Laura Sanko. “I hope so. I’d like to see him fight. I’m not counting on it, but I’d like to see him fight.”

Diaz didn’t fight throughout 2020 but the Stockton local is still keeping active in training, recently dropping a video of him training alongside older brother Nick who, despite White’s objections, is hoping to make a comeback later this year.
