UFC president Dana White reacts to Nate Diaz\u2019s performance at UFC 263, saying \u201che’s going to be asking us for a six-round fight next time.”<\/p>\n

Diaz went the full five rounds with Leon Edwards at UFC 263 and dropped a unanimous decision at the end of the 25 minutes. However, while he lost the first four rounds of the fight, Diaz came on strong in the fifth round and nearly knocked Edwards out in the final minute of the fight. Diaz has always been known for his legendary cardio, which is one of the reasons why he wanted this fight to be scheduled for five rounds<\/a>, and the UFC obliged and booked this fight against Edwards for 25 minutes, which nearly changed the result.<\/p>\n

As it stands, Diaz lost a decision, but his stock remains high after nearly coming back and winning. Following UFC 263, White<\/a> joked that Diaz will be asking him for a six-round fight for his next performance after nearly coming back and beat Edwards in the fifth round.<\/p>\n
