The fight was the last on Diaz\u2019s UFC contract as he intends to pursue other ventures in the fight game, including a possible boxing fight against Jake Paul.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Diaz was to face Khamzat Chimaev in the UFC 279 main event before Chimaev\u2019s weight miss switched up three fights on the main card. The UFC then paired him against Ferguson in a welterweight matchup that arguably could\u2019ve taken place years ago during their respective lightweight stints.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_61634\"  width=\"696\" height=\"391\"  data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZWN38eMehS0?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Diaz and the UFC have been on unsteady terms in recent years. From contract holdouts to social media pleas to be released, Diaz has had a complicated relationship with the UFC headman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Despite their checkered past, things appeared to remain amicable between White and his longtime star Diaz immediately after pulling off the submission win in his farewell fight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-dana-white-nate-diaz-keep-things-civil-amidst-diaz-s-leave-from-ufc\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">DANA WHITE, NATE DIAZ KEEP THINGS CIVIL AMIDST DIAZ\u2019S LEAVE FROM UFC<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You can watch the locker room meetup between White and Diaz\u00a0in the below video\u00a0posted to Diaz\u2019s YouTube channel, beginning at the 20-minute mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The conversation between White and Diaz was brief, albeit positive. White wished Diaz the best of luck, and Diaz even suggested that the two hang out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Diaz is not ruling out a potential return to the Octagon in the future but has alluded to a much-needed break from the contractual obligations of being a UFC fighter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">White also said in the conversation that if Diaz \u201cneeded anything, this is your f**king house\u201d, implying a desire to have the Stockton star back in the Octagon eventually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Diaz\u2019s rise to stardom was due in part to his anti-establishment attitude towards the UFC\u2019s brass, including White. Despite this attitude, Diaz and White seem to be on a similar page as Diaz walks away from his longtime MMA home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Will Nate Diaz eventually return to the UFC?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_79812\"  width=\"696\" height=\"391\"  data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZWN38eMehS0?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Footage Of White\/Diaz Post-UFC 279 Conversation Revealed UFC President Dana White and recently released star Nate Diaz have seemed to put any tensions behind them according to recent behind-the-scenes footage. \u00a0 Footage Of White\/Diaz Post-UFC 279 Conversation Revealed UFC President Dana White and recently released star Nate Diaz have seemed to put any tensions behind [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":288,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-287","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-video","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uncategorized","8":"post_format-post-format-video"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":289,"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287\/revisions\/289"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/288"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
