“I haven’t, but I know that our matchmakers have. But I have said it before and I will say it again, I don’t think Nick Diaz wants to fight. I don’t think he has that love, that passion for fighting. I think it’s sort of a love-hate relationship for him. All the things Nick has is because of fighting, but I don’t think he loves to do it. - said Dana White on a potential Nick Diaz return

Will Nick Diaz return?

As of now, a Nick Diaz return seems very unlikely, however, 2020 could prove to be really interesting for both the Diaz brothers.
