Marijuana is a regular presence in Nate Diaz's camp, whether at home or in the gym weeks before a main event fight against Khamzat Chimaev. Marc Raimondi/ESPN Before he accepted the Chimaev bout, Diaz told the UFC he wanted to fight heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou or middleweight champion Israel Adesanya because they're "cool." That "cool" factor will be something that informs Diaz's decision about a UFC return in the future. Diaz finds it ironic that McGregor took a gig that was first offered to Diaz, considering how their careers have intersected. Diaz believes he was the catalyst for McGregor achieving superstardom as the biggest money-drawing star in UFC history. Diaz choked out McGregor at UFC 196 in March 2016, raising his profile exponentially. In the rematch five months later, McGregor won by a very close majority decision, with one judge calling it a draw.

I don't care how the fight was going. This is war. We're fighting for f----ing cities and families and b------. Your city, family and b------ are all mine. I just killed you. And that's the champ." It's possible, though unlikely, that none of this will come to fruition. That wouldn't bother Diaz. It's a risk he's willing to take. Despite the UFC's desire and attempts to make a Diaz vs. McGregor trilogy fight, it won't happen anytime soon. In fact, any UFC fights that involve Diaz aren't in the cards for the foreseeable future after this weekend. Butcher did well initially but had trouble with Diaz's pace and body shots as the rounds wore on, a situation not foreign to past Diaz opponents. ESPN Daily podcastDiaz returned in August 2019, beating Anthony Pettis, which set up the mythical "BMF title" fight with Masvidal at New York's Madison Square Garden. The massive UFC event, attended by then-President Donald Trump, was the first time a sitting U.S. president had ever attended an MMA fight. If I fight Jake Paul, he ain't paying me, I'm paying him," Diaz says. "I don't want or need to fight Jake Paul. He needs and wants to fight me." Editor's note: Khamzat Chimaev missed weight and Nate Diaz fought Tony Ferguson in the main event of UFC 279. He submitted Ferguson in the fourth round. ( Watch on ESPN+) I saw the market," Diaz said. "You're a G, I'm a G. I can make a gangster fight out of that. I'll do it off the Pettis fight. Follow the blueprint, motherf---er. It's right here."

I don't want to not fight in the UFC, because that's where all the best fighters are in the world. But I do not want to fight in UFC for a while, because while I'm here I'm either doing nothing or I have to fight some f---ing lame ass and build him up for him to fight somebody, for somebody to be somebody for me to fight. Does that make sense, though, or no? It's f---ing completely logical, I believe." If Diaz can be involved in all that for the UFC and some of the other prominent stars in the sport, he believes he might as well control his destiny and start something new as a free agent. White will be cageside Saturday night, watching one of the stars of his company perhaps make the final walk. He understands what a Diaz departure might mean for the UFC.When there's a cool guy who comes in and beats all these fools up and he becomes champion, that's when I want to fight in the UFC because he's actually a cool guy," Diaz said. "And he's not there now. But when he does [get there], you'll know it. Because I'm gonna say, 'What's up now, motherf---er?' While Diaz has never won a UFC title, he is one of the more accomplished fighters in the promotion's history. (Source: ESPN Stats & Info.) Stat
