Nick Diaz news also reveals the elder Diaz brother's interview with UFC.com on how he thinks that fight will go down, and his confidence in his own skills as a fighter coming into what could be the biggest match of his career.
"As far as Anderson Silva, I think that will be a great fight," Diaz said. "Of course, he's kicking and moving, but usually with my style, [my opponents] have a hard time."
"You have to come forward to be kicking and stuff," he added. "It's going to be hard to be kicking people, so you have to put out the punches, if you want to do well."
Nick Diaz has been considered as one of MMA's "bad boys" due to his brash reputation and demeanor towards the media and the opponents he face. But the welterweight contender has shown regret towards some of his actions.
"When I got started, I didn't realize what I was saying, and how it was going to come off," he said about the Nick Diaz news. "I get three-year old kids putting middle fingers out, then I get people hating me and I'm like 'this is really not what I was aiming to do.'"
