My own list of the Top 10 pound-for-pound fighters in mixed martial arts doesn’t include anyone outside the UFC, and I’m sure Dana White‘s list wouldn’t either. But when White was asked in Toronto on Wednesday to name the best pound-for-pound fighter he doesn’t have under contract, he named someone who had a 6-4 record inside the Octagon before leaving the promotion four years ago.

“The pound-for-pound best fighter outside the UFC? That’s a good question,” White said. “Probably Nick Diaz. Nick is nasty. Nick’s a tough kid and probably should be in the UFC, but he’s too crazy. He does crazy stuff.”
