After clearly losing the first four rounds of the fight, Diaz nearly made a comeback late in the fifth round when he rocked Edwards in the final minute of the bout, but ultimately, he came up short and lost 49-46 unanimously on all three judges&#8217; scorecards. But while he didn&#8217;t get his hand raised against Edwards, Diaz is hoping to get back into the Octagon soon.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to reporters following UFC 263, Diaz said that he wants to return to the cage this fall, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/nate-diaz-suffers-minor-injury-bout-with-leon-edwards-moved-to-ufc-263\/\">admitting he felt &#8220;unmotivated&#8221; for Edwards after the fight was pushed back a month<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to fight in three or four months. I\u2019m ready to hop back in there. If I was unscathed, I\u2019ll be back next week. I was just unmotivated to train anymore \u2018cause I already put in all the hard work for the last fight in Texas where it was supposed to be. And now I had to linger on for another f*cking month,&#8221; Diaz said (via Milan Ordonez of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloodyelbow.com\/2021\/6\/13\/22531563\/nate-diaz-wants-next-fight-in-3-or-4-months-after-feeling-unmotivated-for-ufc-263-mma-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BloodyElbow<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p id=\"p8Br4s\">\u201cI got cut in training, that\u2019s why we had to push the fight back. And I kinda lost all motivation to train and work out hard and all that. So I kinda just lingered around for a month, getting ready for war like that. At the end of the day, I felt like he won or whatever, but I feel like I\u2019m the better fighter, still, regardless. I feel like the peak of the fight is what matters in the fight, anyway,&#8221; continued Diaz. &#8220;I just kinda winged it. I was just kinda walking through that fight, trying to get to the next point in this whole game. I didn\u2019t feel like I was ever really in any danger. Of course, I got cut and that f*cking sucks. But like I said, I was unmotivated in training and I just trying to not use any energy anywhere. I was just cruise controlling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Who do you want to see Nate Diaz fight next when he steps back into the Octagon?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC fan favorite Nate Diaz wants to fight again in three or four months following his unanimous decision loss to Leon Edwards at UFC 263.
