The 36-year-old warrior has an incredible spirit. Unlike other UFC fighters, he does not seem eager to be a champion or run behind money.

Why Nate Diaz is in the headlines of combat sport?

The southpaw star has fought 33 fights in his career and established himself with 5 lethal knockouts and 11 wins via submission. He is on the verge of retiring from this sport. However, prior to this, he is keen to take a shot against former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Poirier and wants it as his retirement fight.

He said, “I would like to fight Dustin Poirier. Like now. Like I’ve been trying to. If there’s any mix-up it’s him, and them, and the game. I want the fight now. What’s up Dana White? Let’s get this retirement fight cracking so I can get out of this fight game. I’m done with it.”
