The younger Diaz brother has been in the UFC since 2007 and during that time has faced some of the very best the UFC has had to offer. Both the Diaz brothers have been huge fan favorites ever since they started their journey in the UFC. However, Nate Diaz\u2019s win over Conor McGregor grew his stardom to a status very rarely achieved by fighters in the UFC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a recent interview, Dana White shared his thoughts on Nate Diaz wanting to be released by the UFC and potentially facing Jake Paul in a boxing match. He said, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I like Nate. Let&#8217;s be honest. Nate;&#8217;s won one fight in the last five or six years. &#8230; when these guys get into these positions, you got guys that have been with us for a long time, that we respect, that we care about &#8230; you got the Cerrones and Anthony Pettis before he left and you got&#8230; Nate Diaz.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><br \/>\n<iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GeenjNvkBJg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">White continued<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, &#8220;And Nick Diaz is still under contract with us.
