Nate Diaz's UFC contract 'set to expire' with star desperate to quit promotion

Nate Diaz's UFC contract is set to expire in November if the promotion fail to get him a fight in time.

That's according to ESPN, who report he will be allowed to leave the UFC without fulfilling the obligation for one more fight which his current contract stipulates. Diaz has been vocal about his desire to leave the promotion, and believes he is being "held hostage" in order to stop his earning potential.

There are a number of huge money offers for Diaz outside of the UFC, most notably a boxing match with YouTube star Jake Paul. The social media sensation has been pushing for a fight with the legendary MMA fighter for years, and was expected to face him this year had he been able to get out of his contract in January or February.
