Overview
- Nate Diaz posted that he plans to come back to the UFC to chase the BMF title he helped popularize, writing, “I’ll see you soon, I’m coming.”
- Following an interview clip that caused confusion, Diaz clarified he did not threaten to slap Max Holloway, said the remark was about Charles Oliveira, and apologized for the “rude” comment.
- Max Holloway is the reigning BMF titleholder and is scheduled to defend the belt against Charles Oliveira at UFC 326 on March 7 in Las Vegas.
- UFC president Dana White and matchmakers are working on the June 14 White House card, but no bouts have been announced and Diaz is not booked.
- Diaz’s last UFC fight was a 2022 submission win over Tony Ferguson, and his recent boxing outings against Jake Paul (loss) and Jorge Masvidal (win) leave questions about weight class and opponent fit for a return.
