Daniel Cormier not keen on Nick Diaz returning in 2022: “It didn’t seem like he wanted to be there”

Daniel Cormier has given his thoughts on former UFC title challenger Nick Diaz returning this year.

The former Strikeforce champion was seemingly in retirement before being scheduled to fight at UFC 266 against Robbie Lawler. While he seemed in great shape in training photos, he showed up and notably said he didn’t want to fight. His mental state was further questioned when he requested the fight to be moved to middleweight just days away from the contest.
