Nate Diaz säger i en intervju med mmafighting.com att han tror att Nick Diaz dagar i buren är över.
“Triathlon season is starting so he’s just training, getting in shape for that. [He’s] concentrating on being in shape, being healthy, helping me out and coaching me for my fights. Right now, I don’t think [we’ll ever see him back]. He’s just big on, like I said, just being healthy and staying in shape and not worrying about [fighting] and thinking about it. I think he’s retired. He hasn’t been into this whole fighting thing for some time, you know? Since everything that goes on with the funny wins and losses — for not just him — for me and for people on our team. I think he’s just relaxed right now and he’s pretty set on his retirement. I kind of agree with him, you know? It’s hard to say, especially when it’s somebody like my brother,” Nate explained.
“I’m not going to tell him to go fight somebody. I think he’s doing the right thing, you know? Whatever. He made enough money to just chill back, sit back and relax, you know? People don’t understand, Nick never had nothing. He came from not much, so… He complained a lot about not making much money because there’s so many people making more money than him that he works 10 times harder than, so. But they definitely paid him enough money to not have to do anything. He don’t need to fight”
Nick Diaz mötte Carlos Condit under UFC 143 den 4 februari och den som gick vinnande ur den matchen kommer stå som motståndare till George St Pierre, nuvarande titelhållare. Matchen gick alla fem ronder och Condit vann på domarbeslut. Diaz tyckte det var fel och sa såhär i en intervju efteråt:
”I’m done with this shit, he was running all the time, I pushed him back to the cage, got the takedowns and he still won. I’m just done with this shit.”
