UFC president Dana White has dismissed Nate Diaz's claim he is being held hostage in his contract battle.
Diaz has just one fight remaining on his deal and has frequently demanded to be released from his contract to pursue alternative options. Most recently, Diaz made an appearance on the MMA Hour, where he delivered an emotional rant about his situation.
During the interview, Diaz declared that he was being held hostage by the UFC after claiming to have requested five or six fights with UFC contenders. "My last fight was in June of 2021," he told Ariel Helwani.
