Former UFC lightweight title challenger and fan favorite Nate Diaz likely won’t fight again until he receives a trilogy bout with reigning 155-pound champion Conor McGregor. Diaz simply doesn’t seem interested in any other bouts and he even said recently that he’s looking to get out of MMA and begin taking boxing matches.

In fact, the Stockton native recently told ESNews that he’s interested in mastering all of the arts:

“The mainstream got me as a MMA fighter, but I’m a boxer, I’m a black belt in jiu-jitsu, I do all that stuff and I want to master each thing, each sport. I want to master all of them. Even jiu-jitsu, I think I’m the best jiu-jitsu guy in the world too. I train with Kron Gracie, who is one of the best guys in the world and I train with the best boxers in the world and the best kickboxers,” Diaz stated.

“So when I hear boxers say their opinion or jiu-jitsu guys say their opinion, I’m better than everybody at all these things, so that’s just what I’m thinking about that.”

As far as his rivalry with McGregor goes, the two faced off twice in 2016, first at UFC 196 where Diaz submitted the Irishman and second at UFC 202 where McGregor picked up a closely contested majority decision victory. Diaz, however, feels as if won both fights and actually feels as he’s the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world:

“How come I’m not even in the pound-for-pounds too? I’m like, I beat the #1 pound-for-pound guy. He’s #1 right?” Diaz asked about McGregor, who is currently ranked #2 in the UFC pound-for-pound rankings. “Ok, so I beat him twice and I can’t even get a #9 spot? How the f**k does that work? There’s no logic in this shit. I’m #1. Pound-for-pound, I’m #1 and everybody else, you guys ain’t shit. No one fought as much as me. I have the record for most fights in the UFC, landed the most punches, got the most pay-per-views. I hold the record,” Diaz claimed.

“And all the fighters, they’re so stupid. They’re scared to, they don’t event want to say my name because no one wants to fight. But guess what, it’s all good. I don’t want to fight you little bitches either.”

Diaz has said before that he’s the best fighter in the world, but it’s a statement I’d have to assume many don’t agree with. What are your thoughts?
