It has been just a few days since UFC commentator Michael Bisping spoke about the Diaz brothers. Like everybody, he hopes to see Nick Diaz fight once again in the octagon. He also hopes to see Nate Diaz fight on the same night as his brother. Joe Rogan too spoke about the fighter recently.

In a new episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, Rogan and Jake Shields spoke about the fighter. As per Shields, Diaz was going through some personal issues during his last fight.

Diaz last fought against Robbie Lawler at UFC 266. However, he quit in the third round. This left many fans disappointed. Thus, speaking about his last fight, Shields said, “His last fight, obviously, he wasn’t in the best situation, you know, mentally and stuff. So I would like to see him fight again but like, see him do a proper camp.”

That’s when Rogan revealed that he heard that the older Diaz brother wants to return for a fight. Shields thus said, “I think he wants to but I really hope he does a proper camp and does it right…”

Shields further said, “I think he was going through some tough times in his life, and you know, I don’t want to get into his personal like too much. But I think he was going through a tough time.”

Shields and Diaz are teammates and hence, it is not surprising that he wants to see him fight again.

Shields further said that Diaz was perhaps pushed into the fight. According to him, the fight had happened quickly, and hence, wasn’t able to train at all.

As a result, Shields hopes that Nick Diaz does a proper camp prior to his next fight.

Rogan and Shields further spoke about Diaz’s extreme star power among the audience. The podcaster considers him an important part of the history of MMA. He particularly highlighted Diaz’s Strikeforce days.
