In addition, Nate also explained why he never wants to fight on the same card as his older brother Nick Diaz or even fight on the same night as his team mates.

Nate said,

I don’t like to fight on the same card as anyone I train with, or my brother, especially, I think fighting is a selfish sport. You ain’t got time to think about anybody else but yourself, you know? For the training leading up to that fight, it should be all about you, a little bit. Or whoever is the guy fighting.

If you’re wondering about Nick’s return to MMA, well, Nate believes his brother will come back to competition after his Nevada suspension for marijuana ends this summer.

I think he will [return]. There’s needs to be, Nick’s a big deal, a special human being, a special badass. There aren’t many made like him. I can’t predict what he’ll do, he’s so unpredictable. Even for me, and I know him better than most people. I still have no f*cking clue what he’s going to do.

I’m not even stuck on the 135 compared to the 140 stuff. It’s not really a big thing for me. In boxing, I fought in three weight classes, I’m not gonna say that I’m against going at 140. I actually think Cyborg might able to do 135. Who knows? But that’s definitely something that could be an option for the future. I’m actually really happy for her victory. I really like Cyborg. I think she’s a great gal.

– Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm

Cyborg recently made her UFC debut last week against Leslie Smith at UFC 198. She destoyed her opponent early in the very first round by TKO (punches).

I don’t think he’s better than I am overall. I think I’m a complete fighter and I showed that in the fight. I was very conscious, the right word is reckless, I was a little bit reckless. I had my vision too open. I needed to focus a little bit more on him. Sometimes that happens. Your vision opens and in that moment he hit me and I didn’t see it. It landed on the chin. I think the most fair thing would be, I have six consecutive wins. I was the champion. I think the fair thing would be to get a rematch. – Former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum

At the moment, there’s no stated top contender from the promotion, but many are currently pointing to Alistair Overeem, who recently defeated Andrei Arlovski via jumping front kick to the chin and punches (TKO) early in the second round at UFC Fight Night 87.

I just have to be realistic. My body isn’t working very well. I do still train. I train every day, I teach every day. I still beat up on everybody. I just have to take it slow. I don’t know if my body can handle another training camp, because I train hard. Like everybody else, I train really hard. I also train very smart, but I just have a tendency to break. I’ve made peace with it – that I might never fight again – (but) do I want to fight? Of course. I want to fight. I would like nothing more than to fight, but I have to be realistic about it. – UFC flyweight Ian McCall

He’ll fight on 201, 202, 203 — whatever, I don’t know when. We’ll get it figured out. Listen, I’ve said it a million times, Conor has stepped up, man, and saved big fights for us. I have no hard feelings with Conor. Conor is his own guy. He’s gonna do what he’s gonna do. But he’s not fighting on 200. – UFC President Dana White

Yeah, I would be honored to main event against Daniel Cormier at Madison Square Garden. The question is, you know will Daniel Cormier accept that fight. Daniel Cormier has had a lot of mental struggles when it comes to me and uh…” (laughs) “…that’s just one more thing that he doesn’t need. I’m sure he doesn’t want to fight me in my backyard, because he needs all the mental breaks he can get. So, who knows. I doubt he’d fight me at Madison Square Garden. But like I said, I’ll fight him wherever. The Oklahoma State wrestling room, his living room, whatever. – Jon Jones

I like Wanderlei, I think he’ll give me a good fight. He’s gonna want a knockout like I’m gonna want a knockout. Dude, I don’t mind getting knocked out by Wanderlei, but I don’t mind knocking your ass out either, believe that! So it’s gonna be like a good fight. So if he wants some, come get it. – Kimbo Slice

I want to make interesting fights. In Bellator, one guy that I would love to fight is Kimbo. And I’m not going to the ground. I want to fight in his area. I want to do a good show, I want to give emotion to my fans. When I can’t do that I’m gonna really stop, but right now I feel good. – Wanderlei Silva

Anthony has been ready, he stays in the gym. He comes in and gets a session here and there. But he’s one of those guys that you can just throw in and say, ‘hey, we need to go fight,’ and he’s ready to go. So Anthony is ready just in case. Ultimately he’s going to be the guy who steps in there. But I can tell you this: he’ll be ready. – Anthony Johnson’s Blackzilian teammate, Kamaru Usman

I felt like sh*t about it. I wanted to tell everybody, but it was also a case of let’s just see where this goes and see what happens. I got the MRI Friday night and I was literally diagnosed Saturday, right before I walked out to watch Mickey and Michael Jackson fight. – CM Punk
