"We're supposed to fight dawg I ain't talking to that motherf*cker. What you talking about? 'Hey, how you doing? Wanna fight on... F*ck you motherf*cker, you called my phone? Who gave you my number?' That's how the call would go. What about you? You ever set up a fight with a guy on the phone?"

Nate Diaz explains what it feels like to finally be a free agent

Nate Diaz and the UFC have had issues over contracts and potential opponents, among other things in the past. However, Diaz has now completed his current UFC contract and is officially a free agent.

It must be a foreign feeling to the Stockton native, having fought in the UFC since 2007. But now a free man, Diaz is excited for the future. He was joined by the media following his victory at UFC 279 and was asked if he would consider fighting in other countries now that he is able to.

Diaz responded by saying:

"Everything's an option right now, and that's the best part of being a free agent. I've felt trapped for a long time, like I said, they offered me the world and I'm like, 'All I want is out.' Even if I resign tomorrow, it feels good to be where I'm at."
