The idea was refuted by the North American, who accused his boss of lying about his future. Diaz talked about what he is doing until he fights again and admitted that he is dedicating himself to triathlon, a sport that he practices together with his older brother, also a UFC fighter, Nick Diaz.

“I'm always trying to travel and do some races with my brother and partners. Just training and getting in shape, I want to enjoy the summer that is coming. […] No, Dana White has been lying about me”, he said Nate diaz in an interview with the Mexican website El Rockatogono.

The fighter, who won one and lost another against Conor McGregor last year in his last two fights in the UFC, he also asked other athletes to raise their voices and make themselves heard before the UFC, something he and his brother have been doing for years.

“Everyone is trying to be happy, but I see that it's not happening. It's time for some fighters to speak up and do what they have to do the right way. Make the right moves. I think it’s good for everyone to do the right things”, he analyzed.
