Diaz says he could 'hardly even walk' heading into his first fight with Jorge Masvidal.
The ex-UFC superstar has never been one to pull out of many fights, only having to withdraw once due to injury in a legendary promotional run that lasted from 2007 all the way to 2022, where he finished out his contract with a submission win over Tony Ferguson at UFC 279.
"I was f***** up when I fought Masvidal. I tore him my meniscus two weeks before I fought him and I couldn't even f****** hardly walk in the fight," Diaz revealed. "I didn't even know I tore my meniscus. I found that out after. But, I was training and I was like, dude, I could hardly even walk. And I was like, hell no, we're going here. It was Madison Square Garden, headlining and f****** Donald Trump came through. Think that was the first president ever been at UFC.
