UFC President Dana White plans on getting one of the promotion's biggest stars, Nate Diaz, a fight sooner rather than later.
White spoke with the media during the UFC on ABC 3 post-fight press conference on Saturday and responded to Diaz's most recent interview on The MMA Hour, where the 37-year-old Stockton, California native claimed that the company wouldn't let him out of his current contract and was holding him hostage.
“We can’t hold guys hostage,” White said (h/t MMA Junkie). “It’s not possible. I owe you three fights a year. If I don’t fight you three times a year, I have to pay you. How can I hold him hostage? What do you think my plans are? I’m going to get him a fight. I don’t know (when). We’ll see what happens. I have to get him three fights a year. I offer fights, and he either accepts them or turns them down. Obviously, I’m not paying him, so I’ve offered him fights.”
