Nick Diaz Says UFC Comeback Depends On Dana White

– Nick Diaz did a lengthy interview with Ariel Helwani on Helwani’s MMA Show where he discussed his current status and more. Highlights (via MMA Fighting) are below.

On A Comeback: “It’s not up to me. I’m like, ‘Do you want some? Because you can get it.’ I mean, generally, I go in and show someone their life. It’s up to them whether they want to deal with it. I explained to you exactly what’s going on, so it’s on you folks. It’s on you Dana. It’s on you UFC. It’s on them. It’s in your hands now – Cowboy Stadium.”

On The BMF Title: ”That’s my belt. But I’m not going to get in my brother’s way of taking it. You know there’s more money in this. Hell, you want to do something big, do it at Cowboy Stadium. You’ve got f*cking Canelos and other things happening at Cowboy Stadium. The biggest thing I did, as far as I’m concerned was UNLV. That seemed like a really big place.”

On Past Fights: ”(PRIDE), I used to fight in before UFC monopolized (and) bought the damn PRIDE up and threw the rules away so people could stall and run away. Then you’ve got all these jock boys – ‘Oh, I should be a UFC fighter now, because I can run and take them down and then stall and run away, and then when I get big, then I can do it for five rounds and be in ultimate shape of my life and do the most steroids.’ Now, they’re testing you for f*cking steroids, buddy. Come at me, bro. Everybody I’ve ever fought has been on steroids.”

On Jorge Masvidal: ”You want to talk about baptizing my younger brother? That’s on you. I never had nothing disrespectful to say. But you don’t talk about baptizing my younger brother. You’re already in a f*king position if you fight with me. You don’t talk like that to nobody. My brother just got kicked in his face. He’s having a really hard week, and I can fight.”
