The last time the younger Diaz brother stepped in the octagon was against Leon Edwards at UFC 263 a fight he lost via unanimous decision. Since then, Diaz has been wanting to get back in the octagon and fight out his UFC contract but he has been stalled by the UFC for the better part of a year now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a recent interview with Helen Yee, Jake Shields, Diaz\u2019s friend and training partner shared his thoughts on Diaz being stalled by the UFC. He said, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYeah the whole situation is just getting weird and frustrating. I have not talked to Nate about it in a couple of weeks but I don\u2019t think anything has really changed. It seems to be the same pattern as Nate wanting to fight and them not offering anything. He always said he wanted to fight top 10 because they offered him Khamzat or whatever.\u201d<\/span><\/i><br \/>\n<iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2tvvV_Y0xes\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The former title challenger continued, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe said he was not sure then he said he would fight him after the Burns fight once he finally beat a ranked opponent and then they would not offer him the fight after he asked for it\u2026 It is the last fight of his UFC contract and the <a href=\"https:\/\/ufc.com\/\">UFC<\/a> just don\u2019t want to let him out of his contract\u2026. He said he would take the fight after the Burns fight and then at that point they stopped offering it to him. Hopefully they will be able to come to terms and offer him some kind of fight. At some point they\u2019re going to have to offer him the last fight of his contract or come to terms and re-sign him.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:-<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/why-would-i-even-want-to-dive-into-this-nightmare-ufc-president-dana-white-shuts-down-the-idea-of-being-a-boxing-promoter\/\">\u2018Why Would I Even Want to Dive Into This Nightmare?\u2019- UFC President Dana White Shuts Down the Idea of Being a Boxing Promoter<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Nate Diaz to fight before the end of 2022 in the UFC?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diaz is on the last fight of his UFC contract.
