Fight week is no fun for any fighter.<\/p>\n

On top of having to make weight, fighters have numerous obligations that range from open workouts to media scrums. All while abstaining from eating large meals and drinking lots of water.<\/p>\n

Nate Diaz<\/a> is never one to shy away from speaking his mind. Ahead of his UFC on FOX 17 fight against #6 ranked lightweight Michael Johnson, Diaz spoke to media members to discuss the hell that is fight week, as well as what lead to his return to the Octagon.<\/p>\n
