LAS VEGAS – Nick Diaz now says he regrets his decision to pass up a boxing contract for a return to the UFC.

Three days before his UFC 137 headliner opposite B.J. Penn, Diaz said a trip to the square circle would have benefitted
him more in the long term than the continuation of his MMA career.

“If I had my chance to do it over again, I would have gone back to the
boxing contract,” the former Strikeforce champion said today.
