Diaz Reveals Under What Conditions He Renews UFC Contract

American UFC veteran Nate Diaz explained why he still hasn't renewed his contract with his promotion.

“We haven't made any headway. Every time I said no, they offered more money. These guys don't take no for an answer. But do you really want me to stay? Then the contracts should be given to me and 10 of my friends. I need agreements for all my homies.

After I said it and the deal was worked out, I decided I had to fight. I make my own decisions about what to do. No one will be able to influence me,” Diaz said in an interview with ESPN.

On the night of September 11 at the UFC 279 tournament in Las Vegas, Diaz will fight with Khamzat Chimaev. The upcoming fight will be the last for the American under the current contract with the organization.
