Nate Diaz discusses return
Nate Diaz has revealed his long-awaited return to the UFC could be extended as there currently isn't a fighter out there he's interested in locking horns with.
“I’ve been trying to get in there and get going,” Diaz told MMAjunkie. “I’ve been wanting to get in there and get going this year.
“I just got this lawsuit out of the way that I’ve been going through for the last two years, so I wasn’t even able to fight.
“So that’s all done and over, and I’m ready to get back to fighting if I’m going to be fighting sky anymore.

“From what I hear, GSP doesn’t want that Nate fight. For him to get to 155(lbs), which him and Nate Diaz would fight at in Los Angeles, it’s too much of a cut.
“What he wants to do is wait and fight the winner of Conor-Khabib, which is happening in September.
"So that would put GSP’s fight line around December. He’s not making 155(lbs) for Nate Diaz.”
