“I don’t know how to describe Nate diaz. I think he's just a 'psychopath', he's crazy. He doesn't care about anything. I love that about him. He's there (in the UFC) just to fight, to have fun. It doesn't matter if he wins or loses. He wants to have fun, enjoy himself and no one tells him what to do. He does what he wants,” Francis said.

Admired by Ngannou, Diaz negotiates his renewal with Ultimate. With a fight to end his contract, the American can extend his contract with the company he has defended since 2007.

A favorite among UFC fans, Nate is famous for the engagement he generates when he steps into the Octagon. Even with three defeats in the last five fights, 'bad boy' is treated as one of the company's biggest stars.

A Diaz enthusiast, Ngannou has a commitment to the organization. On January 22, the 'giant' returns to action and faces Cyryl Gane. The clash represents the unification of the heavyweight title and will define the absolute heavyweight champion.
