Det ryktas att den forne welterviktsmästaren i Strikeforce, Nick Diaz, skall gå match på UFC 235. Detta bekräftar UFCs VD Dana White. Nick Diaz själv är dock inte överens med sin arbetsgivare och säger att inget är klart. En potentiell match mot Jorge Masvidal är vad som diskuterats den senaste tiden. Genom ESPN säger Diaz följande.
I think it’s rude of the UFC to try and lowball me and expect me to negotiate a deal while I’m training for a fight. It’s not gonna go down like that. If anybody wants to fight me they know where to find me. I’m not a hard guy to find. Come get some. I have a lot going on trying to manage a few different businesses. Once things make sense for everybody in that they actually have some fighters that they respect and I respect, we can try and come to a deal and do a show. That’s how I feel.
As soon as I am in a good place with what I’m working on and things look the way it should, I’ll be happy to give the fans what they need. But I think they will be OK for now with what’s out there. There aren’t any fights for me until someone stands out. I’ll fight if they can be more reasonable, but, really, I didn’t even talk about what it would or could [take]. They are the one’s tripping.
Diaz passade även på att ge en känga till UFCs welterviktsmästare, Tyron Woodley.
I’ll walk through Woodley. He knows it. I didn’t need to say. That man has a life. I fight for one, like I always have.
Woodley själv är inte särskilt övertygad och kallade Diaz ’punch drunk’.
I’ll fuck Nick up and the world knows it. He punch drunk and washed up
