NATE DIAZ has declared his determination to “get the f*** out of the UFC” as he attempts to secure a release from his contract.
The Stockton Slugger was defeated by Leon Edwards last June and has not fought since inside the octagon.
The 37-year-old American verbally agreed to face Dustin Poirier as the final fight on his current deal with Dana White’s promotion.
However, he has been left without a suitable opponent as it stands due to that bout failing to materialise.
He has now taken to Twitter to display his anger as he responded to a tweet from UFC advertising that they will be selling NFT packs with the Diaz brothers’ cards available for the first 2500 customers
Diaz replied: “It’s s*** like this why I need to get the f*** out of the sorry a** UFC.

“Didn’t you guys suspend Nick [Diaz] for five years and fine me loads of money for a vape pen?! Now you’re reaping the benefits. I hope nobody buys this bull****.”
Diaz, who continues to publicly ask for his contract release, has not yet attempted to thrash out a new deal with UFC and seems unlikely to return.
However, that has not stopped White from stating that he expects Diaz to have a trilogy bout with Conor McGregor before leaving.
And he has also added that he would make the welterweight star a fresh extension offer.

He said: “I think Nate is just popping off to make trouble.
“I think the UFC have got to make him an offer he can’t refuse or else he’s going to fight out his contract.”
