Nate Diaz claims he has given up training for his final UFC fight against Khamzat Chimaev on Saturday night after insisting he doesn't want the bout at all.
The California native is a legendary fighter in the promotion despite his 13 career losses, but has been at odds with management for years over a number of issues. His final contracted fight takes place this weekend at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas as the headliner of UFC 279, but he was never keen on facing unbeaten top contender Chimaev.
Diaz very publicly turned down the fight at the first time of asking, before eventually deciding that it was easier to just accept and get out of his contract. His name value will mean that he'll surely receive a number of big money offers outside of the octagon, with one obvious option being a boxing match against Jake Paul.
