Diaz could potentially re-sign with the UFC, although the chances of him immediately returning are unlikely. A trilogy with Conor McGregor could happen down the line if he re-joins the promotion.
Diaz called for his release for months after a delayed return to the Octagon. Before his win over Ferguson, he lost back-to-back fights to Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards in 2019 and 2021.
Diaz’s short-notice upset win over McGregor at UFC 196 propelled him to UFC stardom. After an up-and-down tenure at lightweight, he moved to welterweight for the McGregor fights and a win over Anthony Pettis.
Diaz’s UFC story may not be fully written, although the UFC community will miss the Stockton bad boy following his release. Fans will now look forward to his free agency decision.
