I recently discovered that Nick had turned down a fight with Conor McGregor, because that was \u201cNate\u2019s fight\u201d, and that he also turned down a title fight with you. Now Joe Rogan is reporting that Diaz also turned down a rematch with Robbie Lawler. Did you ever get offered the Nick Diaz fight from the UFC?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tyron Woodley<\/strong>: \u201cI just asked Nick. I saw Nick in a night club. We hosted a party at Hakkasan. I was with TJ and Demetrious Johnson and Cody Garbrandt hosted his party there. So I see Nick Diaz there and went up and asked him. It is not like Nick is scared of fighting you know.\u201d  He said laughing. \u201cHe\u2019s not scared to fight me or Robbie or Conor McGregor. Nick wants to get paid man. He\u2019s held out in the past and it has worked out in his favor. He went out there and fought Anderson Silva for close to a million bucks. He knows that he pushes the needle. Plus there is a card, 209, so he understands what he is worth to that card. So I can\u2019t knock him for that. It\u2019s more of a situation of him wanting to get paid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Georges-St-Pierre-Nick-Diaz-158-strike.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"730\" height=\"380\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Georges-St-Pierre-Nick-Diaz-158-strike.png\" alt=\"Tyron Woodley wants nick diaz fight\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-201999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Georges-St-Pierre-Nick-Diaz-158-strike.png 730w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Georges-St-Pierre-Nick-Diaz-158-strike-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Georges-St-Pierre-Nick-Diaz-158-strike-585x305.png 585w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Georges-St-Pierre-Nick-Diaz-158-strike-390x203.png 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He continued:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the honest truth man. I can sit here an act like I am Bruce Almighty but Nick Diaz is a bigger draw than me. He is a bigger name than me. Me fighting him and me wanting to fight Nick is because I recognize and realize that I am the world champion but Nick Diaz is a legend. He has had to fight the guys like Diego Sanchez, Paul Daley and Frank Shamrock. He has had to have wars with Georges and BJ Penn to get his name to where it is. So all I am trying to do is fight the Robbie Lawler\u2019s, fight the Nick Diaz\u2019s , GSP\u2019s and Conor McGregor\u2019s so that I can become a name that enters in to the legend category. Then people will want to fight me for the same reason I want to fight Nick. That\u2019s all it is. There is nothing personal. I respect him as a fighter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Who would you like to see Tyron Woodley face next?
