Nick Diaz Hasn’t Agreed To Fight Jorge Masvidal At UFC 235

In an interview with ESPN, Nick Diaz said that he hasn’t agreed to a fight with Jorge Masvidal at UFC 235, which would be his first in four years. Here are highlights:

On not accepting the fight: “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.”

On if he’ll ever take another fight: “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.”

On not being interested in a fight with Tyron Woodley: “I’ll walk through Woodley. He knows it. I didn’t need to say [in response to him]. That man has a life. I fight for one, like I always have.”
