Diaz had a great run at the UFC in his prime days, however, the UFC sidelined him from fighting for 5 years after failed drug tests. Diaz recently returned to fighting last year and took on his former opponent Robbie Lawler at UFC 266.
Even though he pulled out of the bout, Diaz put up an entertaining bout for the fans while he was in the Octagon.

Diaz revealed that he is looking to make a comeback in the Octagon towards the end of the year. He told TMZ Sports, “If I’m going to fight, I want to fight for the title… They want to say that I want to fight a bunch of guys and stuff like that. Well, you know what? It’s a bigger fight. Just skip all the mess. I don’t need to go in there and get my a*s whooped by one of the young guys, anyway.”

Diaz continued, “it’s not that I won’t win. It’s just not motivating to fight somebody that’s–I want to fight for the title. I’m 38 years old.”I think I’ll beat him.… I would love it if they (UFC) gave me a shot.”

The fighter holds a professional fight record of 26 wins, 10 losses, and two no-contests. Diaz’s legacy would have been a lot more different than it is right now if it wasn’t for the failed drug tests. His Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the best of his time, and he has never been submitted in his professional career.
