Dana White weighs in on Nate Diaz’s future
With Nate Diaz having just one fight left in his UFC contract, UFC President Dana White had a piece of advice for the ‘West Coast Gangster’.
In a recent interview with Aaron Bronsteter of TSN, White said:
“That’s a decision he needs to make. Listen, for a lot of these guys, there’s no secret about it. If you believe that you are one of the best in the world and you believe you can win a world title here, or hang with the top five, then this is where you should be. The minute that you start doubting that is the case, you’ve got to start looking at other options.” [via MMA Fighting]
