According to information from UFC President Dana White, the former champion of Strikeforce and WEC Nick Diaz will return to play in 2021. Among the boxers who are looking to welcome the old Nick Diaz back to the stage, the most prominent is probably Khamzat Chimaev, but Diaz thinks that Chimaev is still “too young”.
“A respectful way, I have to assert that Khamzat Chimaev is a promising star,” Kevin Mubenga, the manager of Nick Diaz said in an interview with ESPN.
“But he's too young to perform a Mega-Fight match with a person like Nick Diaz. So let those rumors float in.”
However, most viewers think that it is not the real reason. Khamzat Chimaev is very young, is a rising star with a passionate fighting style. Currently, Nick Diaz is also 37 years old – is he still enough to fight in this fierce arena?
Meanwhile, Nick Diaz has not had a victory since 2011. He has been a consecutive loss against Carlos Condit and Georges St-Pierre.
The upcoming opponent of the Diaz brother has not been revealed, but the higher chance of Nick Diaz will have to fight a boxer outside the top 15 of Welterweight.
