Infamous UFC fighter Nate Diaz announced that he plans to hold a welterweight title fight after meeting with Leon Edwards, which will take place on June 13 at UFC 263. The American is confident that he will get a fight for the belt even if he loses.

“I don't care if I lose, I will fight for the belt. The plan now is to win, and then we'll see who will be the next opponent for me. He's the top fighter who beat everyone, so why don't I fight him? It's impressive when someone can win so many times in this game. It's good to be in business and to be able to do business the way I like it. I look forward to getting the job done. I have to kill this bastard," Diaz said in an interview with MMAjunkie.

Edwards and Diaz will have a historic fight - this fight will be the first five-round battle in UFC history, which will not be a title fight and will not be held within the framework of the main event of the tournament.
