Nate Diaz has admitted just days out from his fight with Khamzat Chimaev that he doesn't particularly want the bout to take place.
The former UFC lightweight title contender will leave the promotion after 15 years on Saturday night regardless of the result against Chimaev at UFC 279 in Las Vegas. He was keen to get another match-up and very publicly turned down Chimaev at first, but is now more focused on getting out of his promotional contract.
He is planning to launch his own promotion in the coming weeks and has insisted no amount of money from the UFC could convince him to stay. He is even willing to take this fight in order to finally be released from his contract, but insists there is minimal bad blood between he and the promotion.
