Diaz mentioned he plans to keep fighting indefinitely because he believes the only way to secure lasting recognition is to continue competing and earning credit.

Diaz also commented on the current UFC landscape, saying there is a lack of exciting champions and fighters, which partly explains why he is not currently active.

He hinted that his return would likely be at welterweight (170 lbs), though he is not particularly excited by the current contenders.

Nate Diaz sent an ultimatum directly to UFC president Dana White, demanding that the UFC elevate the welterweight division and implying that his return hinges on meaningful opportunities, such as fighting for a UFC title or significant fights rather than just any matchup.

Diaz criticized the current roster and challenged Dana White to improve the division's status, signaling that he may not return unless the UFC takes serious steps to make the welterweight scene more competitive and exciting.

Nate Diaz’s "title ultimatum" is that he wants to come back to the UFC only if he can fight for a title, as he sees that as the only meaningful way to continue his career and legacy.
