MMA veteran Nick Diaz has remained one of the most popular fighters in MMA despite the fact that he hasn’t fought in nearly three years. After his dominant run in Strikeforce, Diaz signed with the UFC and made his debut in 2011, when he defeated BJ Penn<\/a> via unanimous decision. Diaz then dropped his next two fights, an interim welterweight scrap with Carlos Condit, and a unanimous decision to Georges St-Pierre for the welterweight title. <\/p>\n

In his most recent fight, Diaz stepped into the Octagon against Anderson Silva in a highly anticipated showdown which was eventually deemed a ‘no contest’ as a result of drug testing failures for both men. As it turns out, UFC President Dana White believes that very well may have been Diaz’ last fight. He spoke to MMAJunkie<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Dana<\/p>\n

\u201cI highly doubt it. I 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

\u201cThe thing about fighting, first of all it\u2019s a young man\u2019s game,\u201d White said. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to be young, hungry. You\u2019ve got to be an animal to jump out of bed every day and go in there and train the way that you do.<\/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<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Nate<\/p>\n

With that being said, Nate Diaz said recently that he and his brother were taking off the rest of the year from fighting due to a busy triathlon race schedule throughout the coming months.<\/p>\n
