In the UFC, there aren’t a ton of fighters that really move the needle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s obvious that Conor McGregor<\/a> is one of the biggest stars the UFC has ever seen.<\/p>\n

However, aside from “The Notorious” who comes to mind that can bring in big numbers for the UFC? Jon Jones is set to return in July<\/a> and Georges St-Pierre’s<\/a> return is also on the horizon. What about former women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey<\/a> and the Diaz brothers?<\/p>\n

\"Nick<\/a><\/p>\n

According to White, he believes that both Rousey and Nick Diaz are done with fighting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI highly doubt it,\u201d White said to MMAjunkie<\/a> when asked if he thinks we will see Nick return to competition any time soon. \u201cI don\u2019t know. I honestly don\u2019t think that, and I can\u2019t speak for him, you\u2019d have to speak with Nick himself, but if you ask me \u2013 people ask me, \u2018Do you think Ronda (Rousey) is coming back?\u2019 No. I think Ronda\u2019s going to retire. Ronda hasn\u2019t retired, but my opinion is, I think she will. I don\u2019t think Nick Diaz will ever fight again. I just don\u2019t think he has the desire anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

White said that he believes age and the desire to train and fight is definitely playing a factor in Nick’s decision to compete. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe things that you have to do to get to the UFC, let alone break into the top 10 or the top 5 or be a world champion, you have to love it. I just don\u2019t think that Nick loves it anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the elder Diaz brother has said that ever since the day he started fighting professionally, it was no longer fun for him<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"Nate<\/a><\/p>\n

However, White believes there is still a chance that the younger Diaz brother<\/a> will step into the Octagon in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cNate, I think that Nate probably will (fight) if something popped up,\u201d White said. \u201cBut that\u2019s just my opinion. If you ask the Diaz brothers they might have a different opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you think we will ever see the Diaz brothers or Ronda Rousey fight again? Let’s get your opinion in the comment section.<\/p>\n
