Nate Diaz is without a doubt one of the biggest names in the UFC. The Stockton native commands the attention of fights fans every time he steps into a UFC octagon, resulting in big business for both himself and the UFC. However, over the past few years, Diaz has been sporadic with his appearances inside the octagon. 

Thankfully for fight fans, it appears as though the younger Diaz brother is all set to change that by fighting twice in a calendar year for the first time since 2019. Diaz has stated multiple times that he wants to fight in December. His opponent of choice is Vicente Luque, who is ranked #4 in the UFC’s welterweight division.

Diaz took to Twitter recently to take shots at Luque. He said, “I ain’t got a contract. It must be something wrong wit luque.” Diaz continued, “I’m fight somebody.”

‘The Silent Assassin’ responded to the same. “You know I’m in from day one! I’ve never backed up from a fight and I’m not gonna start now!! We can do it when and where you want I’m ready.” Luque continued, “I’ll raise my offer we can go as many rounds as you want and let’s make it an all stand up war no take downs allowed! #FOTY.”
