UFC Legend Nate Diaz has revealed he will only return to the octagon if it’s against wrestling icon, The Rock.
During his legendary wrestling career, The Rock did it all. From becoming the then-youngest WWE Champion and winning that title seven more times, becoming a two-time Intercontinental Champion and five-time Tag Team Champion to winning the Royal Rumble in 2000 and headlining WrestleMania five times, The Great One had a run like no other.
After leaving the wrestling world, The People’s Champion took Hollywood by storm, starring in multiple blockbusters and eventually becoming the highest-paid actor in the world.
Meanwhile, Nate Diaz had his own legendary career in UFC, gaining an MMA record fo 22-13 that included four knockouts and 14 submission victories.
Although The Stockton Slugger never won a championship in his decade-long career in UFC, he is tied with Frankie Edgar and Edson Bardoza for most ‘Fight Of The Night’ bonuses at eight and several of his fights have been among the highest pay-per-view selling bouts in the company’s history.
Diaz’s last fight took place on September 11th this year when he defeated Tony Ferguson by submission in the fourth round. Following this bout, his contract with UFC expired leaving him a free agent.
However, the legend has now taken to Twitter to claim he won’t fight again. That is, unless The Rock agrees to take him on.

Diaz has previously criticised The Rock’s new UFC x Project Rock partnership which has made the former WWE star’s shoes the official footwear of the company.
During an interview, Diaz complained that the shoes “suck” claiming he was made to wear them before throwing one away.
