Nick Diaz and Ronda Rousey are good friends and former training partners. Both California natives, have always been known for wearing their heart on their sleeve. With that in mind, it isn't really surprising that much like Rousey - despite not having formally retired from MMA - Diaz hasn't really shown much interest in fighting for the UFC again.

Nevertheless, Diaz's situation is far different than that of Rousey, in the sense that he isn't really worried about fighting again due to a few previous losses. In fact, Diaz was recently set to compete against Jorge Masvidal, in what would've been his first MMA fight since 2015.

However, he eventually claimed that the UFC wasn't compensating him adequately in the financial sphere, owing to which he'd love fighting for Scott Coker in Bellator MMA. Over the past few days, UFC President Dana White has claimed that Diaz vs. Masvidal has been canceled, and he has no idea whether or not Diaz will ever fight again.

The fans still cheer on Stockton's older son, and while they wish for both Nick and his younger brother Nate to fight in the UFC again; only the legendary brothers from Stockton 209 know if and when they'll compete in the sport of MMA again...
