It’s been over four years since we last saw Nick Diaz step foot into the octagon, and it’s looking highly unlikely that he will be returning to the UFC anytime soon.
Diaz’s last appearance in the UFC took place in January 2015, when he lost a unanimous decision to Anderson Silva. The result was soon changed to a no contest when Silva tested positive for anabolic steroids, and Diaz tested positive for marijuana.
Posting a lengthy message to Instagram on Monday, Diaz stated if he returned to the UFC he would basically ‘be fighting for free.’
”I’m no role model, I’m 35 years old, but I definitely wouldn’t advise anybody to take a fight for less than their worth or fight for free,” Diaz wrote, “Which is practically what I would be doing at this point in taking a fight with some of these guys that are not on my level.
