"I suggest him come over on this side and make some money with me"- Tyron Woodley talks about his desire to have a fight with Nate Diaz or Nick Diaz
Tyron Woodley has asserted that he'd love to fight Nate Diaz, Nick Diaz, or perhaps both Diaz brothers.
In his latest interview with MMA Junkie, Woodley -- who last competed in MMA back in March 2021 -- insinuated that he'd like to ease his way back into professional MMA competition.
The UFC star-turned-boxer suggested that he'd love to face the Diaz brothers outside the MMA realm, most likely in the sport of professional boxing. When asked about Nate Diaz's departure from the UFC after his win over Tony Ferguson last month, 'T-Wood' labeled the younger Diaz brother as a "boss" and a "G."

Woodley lauded the Diaz brothers for their unapologetic bad boy personas, for forging their own path, and for making others dance to their tune. Furthermore, he advised Nate Diaz to follow his heart and do whatever fetches him the most money, provided that's what he wants to do. Also calling for fights against the Diaz brothers, Woodley stated:
"I suggest him [Nate] come over on this side and make some money with me because I've got a good opportunity where me and Nick or Nate, or both of them, can make quite a few millions of dollars fighting each other."
He continued:
"So, I don't know if y'all got contact with them, but I was just texting somebody before y'all hit me up. How do you get in touch with Nick and Nate? So, it's funny you even said that. But I've got a pretty big opportunity where I feel like we can walk away very handsomely [paid]."

Tyron Woodley seemingly lends his support for Nate Diaz fighting Jake Paul, Conor McGregor, or Logan Paul next
Nate Diaz is a free agent and is expected to pursue combat sports opportunities outside the UFC, whereas Nick Diaz is still under contract with the organization. While a fight between the younger Diaz brother and Tyron Woodley could materialize, a Nick Diaz-Woodley matchup seems unlikely to transpire anytime soon.
Following Nate Diaz's UFC departure in September of this year, the MMA Fighting Instagram account put forth a post regarding potential opponents for his next fight. The list of opponents comprised names such as Conor McGregor, Jake Paul, and Logan Paul.
Check out the Instagram post below:
Tyron Woodley, for his part, lent his support to Diaz in the Instagram post's comments section by writing, "Get paid!" It's believed that Diaz is likely to rake in a huge payday irrespective of whom he fights next. Nevertheless, Diaz's next opponent and comeback date are currently shrouded in mystery.
