Quick read
Nate Diaz posted on X on February 11, 2026, claiming he originated the BMF title division and plans to return to UFC to claim it ASAP. As a free agent inactive in MMA since 2023, Diaz asserts he brought value to fighters like current claimants and has unfinished business from his loss to Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244. He expressed interest in the UFC White House event in 2026 and previously targeted Paddy Pimblett. This stirs the BMF division, potentially leading to high-profile bookings amid his boxing and jiu-jitsu pursuits. Expect Diaz to push for a title shot, possibly intersecting with Holloway-Oliveira rematch talks.
