Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz is not retiring from MMA.
But he sees a bleak future in his division, and his manager, Cesar
Gracie, is angling for opportunities outside the sport if those within
it are not of interest.
In fact, a trip to professional boxing is still on Gracie’s radar, and he said
he’s working to book Diaz on a fight sometime in the fall, possibly
against former IBF champion Jeff Lacy.
That could be a possibility now that Diaz has reworked his MMA contract.
