Jake Shields: I hope Nick Diaz ‘has a proper camp and does it right’ for next bout
Nick Diaz after his UFC 266 loss to Robbie Lawler in September 2021.A bit of an update came from the Nick Diaz camp this week regarding his next fight. According to his long-time mentor Cesar Gracie, fans can expect the 38-year-old Diaz to be back in action before the year ends.
But based on his UFC 266 performance against Robbie Lawler last September, many are also on the fence about Diaz fighting again. For UFC president Dana White, the former Strikeforce champion should give his career a lot of thought because he may just be doing it “cause he has to.”
But if you ask Jake Shields, all that Diaz needs is proper preparation.
