Nick Diaz Says He’s Ready To Return To Fighting

Nick Diaz has been a somewhat elusive character of late, having not fought since a loss to GSP a year ago, but it seems he’s finally ready to return to the Octagon.

Diaz attended last night’s UFC 171 show in Texas and afterwards he spoke to reporters and confirmed that after experiencing a little of what life had to offer outside of the cage, he now wanted to get back to doing what he does best – fighting.

During the interview Diaz indicates he’s interested in fighting for a few more years, and also confirms that he does plan on helping his team-mate Gilbert Melendez coach on TUF 20 along with his brother Nate.

Over the years I've watched the UFC develop into the powerhouse it is today, organizations like PRIDE, Strikeforce and WEC rise and fall, and Bellator emerge as a new force on the MMA landscape. Throughout it all I've remained captivated by the sport and I'm excited to cover what comes next here on MMA Insight.
