Nick Diaz’s fighting days aren’t over. The past few years have been difficult for Diaz, a former UFC championship contender who has not competed since 2021. Updates on the 42-year-old Diaz’s life and competitive status have been few and far between, but Diaz recently sat down for an interview at the Baja Rehab center in Baja California, Mexico, to discuss his recovery from substance abuse and ongoing sobriety journey.

Despite his lengthy hiatus, Diaz revealed he plans to not only fight again, but add another title to his collection.

“I see myself becoming world champion,” Diaz said.
