Nick Diaz has not competed in the UFC since his UFC 183 fight against Anderson Silva. That fight took place back in 2015 and since then Diaz has not competed in any form of combat sports. However, recently there has been much talk of Nick Diaz returning to action this year.

While speculation was ongoing whether the UFC would be willing to give Nick Diaz a comeback fight was unknown, that was put to rest when Dana White, in a recent interview, said that Diaz will fight this year. Now though, in a recent conversation with the MMA Fighting, Cesar Gracie revealed something surprising.

“We were looking at September. I have to see where he is in his contract. It is possible that his next fight will not be in the UFC. Nick is very open to take a fight in MMA or boxing.”

This came as a surprise as everyone was expecting a UFC comeback for Diaz. When Gracie was asked whether Nate Diaz was a free agent, he wrote “we are studying that possibility.”
