UFC fan favorite welterweight fighter Nate Diaz goes on a Twitter rant after the promotion failed to find him a viable opponent for his next fight. The Stockton slugger previously lost against the number three ranked fighter Leon Edwards in June 2021. However, he has one fight left on his contract.

Diaz was previously in talks for a clash against the former lightweight title challenger Dustin Poirier. Both the parties verbally agreed to fight. Meanwhile, UFC kingpin Dana White was also interested in making the blockbuster trilogy fight between Diaz and Conor McGregor.
However, all these fights were always in the talks but never in the books. Hence, Stockton’s second child, who has been demanding a fight for a long time, released his frustration on his official Twitter account last night.
I Would like to request to be released from the @ufc @danawhite @hunter
I apologize for asking online but u don’t give me a fight asap I got shit to do
🏝 🤼♀️ 🥊 👊🏼 🏃♂️— Nathan Diaz (@NateDiaz209) March 26, 2022
At first, Diaz posted a Tweet tagging UFC, Dana White, and a tag aimed at the UFC’s chief business officer Hunter Campbell. He wrote, “I Would like to request to be released from the @ufc @danawhite @hunter. I apologize for asking online but u don’t give me a fight asap I got sh*t to do.”
Following that, the Stockton slugger posted yet another Tweet stating how fighters get released from the UFC but he is unable to buy out his contract.

Jake Paul responds to Nate Diaz
Ever since his transition to professional boxing, the Ohio native has been wanting to fight the elite fighters from UFC. For this reason, ‘The Problem Child’ has been taking an aim at UFC president Dana White for a long time now.
However, White is not interested in making a fight for Paul yet. Moreover, the latter is going after the UFC boss regarding the fighter’s pay issue. Previously, Paul chimed in his thoughts on the contract conflict between Francis Ngannou and UFC.
