'Absolute legend, but I don't think he's into this s--t anymore'. Nick Diaz's return to the Octagon at UFC 266 left a sour taste for fight fans. 9WWOS UFC266

Diaz hadn't competed under the UFC banner since a fight with Anderson Silva nearly seven years ago and it showed.

In an interview with ESPN on fight week, Diaz admitted he really didn't want to fight and that he tried to get away from fighting over the last six years, but was pulled back because that's the only thing he can do for himself. "I don't know why I'm doing this. ... This should not happen. Whoever set this up is an idiot. I don't know why I'm doing this. I don't know why this happened," Diaz said.
