JAKARTA - Nate Diaz is again the center of controversy. The 37-year-old fighter has made it clear he wants to quit the UFC and become a free agent, as he doesn't think there are any worthy opponents for him.
He also claims it was better to do and that most fighters have been abused by the UFC, especially in the lightweight and welterweight divisions.
Later, this led to talk of a potential fight between her and Jake Paul. However, the UFC star laughed off the rumours.
Recently, UFC president Dana White spoke with Diaz and asked him about Paul.
"He said 'I would never do that', that's what he told me," White told Yahoo Sports.
"He said 'that's ridiculous'."
What is the future of Nate Diaz?Diaz felt that his UFC opponents were at a lower level, and he wanted to wait until there was a worthy opponent.
"When the time is right, when there's a new bunch of guys here doing something good, then I'll be back," he admits on The MMA Hour podcast.
"I feel like there's nothing left for me to do in the UFC. I'm ready to move on."
For now, Diaz will face undefeated welterweight Khamzat Chimaev on September 10 at the main event of UFC 279 in Las Vegas. All indications are that it will be his last fight in his UFC contract.
