Ready To Comeback To UFC, Nick Diaz Wants To Fight Kamaru Usman
JAKARTA - Nick Diaz, the older brother of Nate Diaz, is looking for a way to return to the octagon and the UFC. The mixed martial arts fighter is already preparing for his comeback and is looking to achieve big goals.
Diaz, spoke to TMZ Sports about the matter and explained that he has been improving his skills again during training sessions. Currently, Diaz is looking for a date to mark his return to the octagon.
"We are working (finding opponents and dates) until the end of the year," Diaz commented to the media when asked. This will be his second fight since 2015, since his TKO loss to Robbie Lawler at UFC 266 in 2021.
Since then, Diaz's oldest saga has remained focused on returning in the best possible shape. He also stated that he wanted to fight against the best competitors.
"I didn't have to go in there and get kicked by one of those young boys, and it's not like I wasn't going to win," the Stockton native said.
Therefore, Diaz is clear about what his goal is this time, "I want to fight for the title. I am 38 years old." Meaning, it will involve the best pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC: Kamaru Usman.
The Nigerian fighter will face Diaz in one of the most anticipated fights for MMA fans. "I think I will beat him," concluded Diaz.
