“I got sh*t to do”- Nate Diaz wants to be released, had enough of the UFC delaying his next fight

Looks like UFC megastar Nate Diaz might make the bold move of parting ways with the biggest MMA promotion after competing there for nearly 18 years. Diaz, last fought at UFC 263 when he lost a unanimous decision to upcoming welterweight title challenger Leon Edwards. Diaz was then looking forward to fighting former lightweight title challenger Dustin Poirier this year as the latter was thinking of moving up a weight class due to the difficult weight cutting process to maintain 155 lbs.

Diaz, younger brother of MMA legend Nick Diaz is one of the biggest names to fight inside the UFC octagon in MMA history. Diaz is the winner of The Ultimate Fighter Season 5 as well as been known for his notable wins over the likes of Conor McGregor, Jim Miller, Anthony Pettis, Gray Maynard, Michael Johnson, Melvin Guillard and many more. Diaz is also a former lightweight title challenger as well.

Nate Diaz has multiple options for his next fight in the UFC

On Twitter, Diaz tweeted “I Would like to request to be released from the @ufc @danawhite @hunter I apologize for asking online but u don’t give me a fight asap I got shit to do” It’s no private news that Diaz was asking the UFC for a fight since the ending of 2021 so that he could have a fight by early 2022, even UFC President Dana White said it multiple times as well that they were figuring something out for Diaz.

However, before the aforementioned tweet, Diaz has also expressed in the past his wish to end the fight contract with the UFC as soon as possible and fight for other promotions such as Bellator MMA as well.

What do you make of Diaz’s frustrating relationship with the UFC so far? Do you think Diaz is right on his side and is really sidelined by the UFC for not giving him fights? If you were supposed to be the matchmaker for the UFC, who do you tag Diaz against for a fight? Diaz has a lot of options, which includes a trilogy with UFC megastar Conor McGregor as well as a fight with Poirier.
