Nate Diaz has demanded he be released from the UFC after claiming the promotion has failed to find him an opponent.
Diaz has one fight left on his contract and had been expected to face Dustin Poirier in the coming months. But that fight has failed to materialise - and Diaz's demand would also put paid to hopes of completing his trilogy with Conor McGregor.
The rivals exchanged victories in 2016 and have since been expected to agree to a rubber match. But Diaz's future now looks unclear after he tweeted: "I would like to request to be released from the UFC. I apologise for asking online but you don’t give me a fight ASAP I got s*** to do." He later added: "Motherf****** be crying cause they get dropped from the UFC [and] I can’t pay out this b****".
