Daniel Cormier shuts down UFC 306 return fight for Nate Diaz: ‘I don’t need to see that’

Former two-weight champion, Daniel Cormier claims he has no interest in watching promotional veteran, Nate Diaz making his return in a main event at UFC 306 in September at the Las Vegas Sphere – claiming he doesn’t “need to see” the Stockton veteran headline the card.

Diaz, a former undisputed lightweight title challenger and Ultimate Fighter victor under the promotion’s banner, has been sidelined from mixed martial arts since he headlined UFC 279 in a reworked clash against former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson.

And bowing out of his Octagon deal off the back of a win, Diaz turned in a stunning fourth round rallying win over the Oxnard veteran, in the form of a guillotine choke success.
