When he wanted to hit hard, it landed," Butcher says. "It landed. Some of those knees to the body, he was being nice because we don't have the pad on. But if he threw some of those, they would have dropped me for sure. Diaz returned in August 2019, beating Anthony Pettis, which set up the mythical "BMF title" fight with Masvidal at New York's Madison Square Garden. The massive UFC event, attended by then-President Donald Trump, was the first time a sitting U.S. president had ever attended an MMA fight.

Diaz vs. Chimaev is a polarizing matchup that analysts and even other UFC fighters have blasted. Chimaev is 28 years old and one of the hottest rising stars in the UFC, a dominant wrestler from Chechnya via Sweden with a 5-0 UFC record and four finishes. He is very likely on the cusp of a title shot. Diaz, meanwhile, is nine years older, has 14 more years of pro-MMA wear and tear, and has lost three of four. With his knowledge of Hollywood and marketability, Reyes sees a bright future for Diaz in whatever he does next. When there's a cool guy who comes in and beats all these fools up and he becomes champion, that's when I want to fight in the UFC because he's actually a cool guy," Diaz said. "And he's not there now. But when he does [get there], you'll know it. Because I'm gonna say, 'What's up now, motherf---er?'Diaz said the UFC offered him a complex, multifight contract extension for a great deal of money -- he wouldn't say how much -- that included the McGregor trilogy bout and potentially a fourth McGregor fight. Diaz turned it down, opting to become a free agent after the Chimaev fight. If I fight Jake Paul, he ain't paying me, I'm paying him," Diaz says. "I don't want or need to fight Jake Paul. He needs and wants to fight me." I don't want to be in the UFC Hall of Fame," Diaz said. "I just like making fun of mother f-----ers who think they're tight for being in the Hall of Fame." Two weeks before UFC 279, the famously private Diaz allowed ESPN unprecedented access to his Northern California training camp. Diaz, 37, has finished McGregor, headlined Madison Square Garden in a fight for a mythical BMF title and been a part of some of the most significant pay-per-view events in UFC history. What's next, he said, will trump all of that. I saw the market," Diaz said. "You're a G, I'm a G. I can make a gangster fight out of that. I'll do it off the Pettis fight. Follow the blueprint, motherf---er. It's right here."

I don't care how the fight was going. This is war. We're fighting for f----ing cities and families and b------. Your city, family and b------ are all mine. I just killed you. And that's the champ."

Nate Diaz's UFC career by the numbers

In Diaz's mind, Edwards followed what had become a pattern. For three of Diaz's past four opponents, their next fight was for a title: McGregor, Masvidal and Edwards. Diaz believes the UFC is setting Chimaev up for that very thing -- a chance at the belt -- if he can beat Diaz. All athletes strive to get to free agency," Reyes says. "And he's done it. It's an amazing thing, because it's very, very rare [in MMA] -- if ever -- that anybody has been able to build their brand and then be able to go, 'Now I want to be able to move the way I want to move.'" That's enough for me," Diaz said, referring to his fight with Edwards. "If you get your ass whipped, you're the loser; I'm the winner. The only thing that happened in that fight with me and him was [the big fifth-round punch].
