Nate Diaz Jokes He's Only Willing to Fight The Rock After Announcing UFC Retirement

Unless you're "The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment," don't approach Nate Diaz about a comeback fight.

Diaz, who just wrapped up his UFC contract, said Wednesday he's "only going to fight the rock."

The 37-year-old submitted Tony Ferguson at UFC 279 on Sept. 10 in what could be his MMA swan song. He has already entertained a possible fight with Jake Paul, and speculation linking him with a move to WWE is already beginning.

As to Diaz's UFC future, his terms might be a tad unrealistic.

Dwayne Johnson was famously on hand at UFC 244 to award Jorge Masvidal the symbolic BMF title following his victory over Diaz in October 2019.
