Dana: ‘Nick Diaz won’t be back in the UFC anytime soon’

I like Nick Diaz very much and I have said this many times. If Nick Diaz played the game even this much (a little), but Nick Diaz refuses to play the game. He is anti-‘the game’… its hard, you know?

You have to certain rules and guidelines and the last time Nick Diaz was in the UFC he got into a fistfight in the hospital with the kid that he fought here [in the UFC]. You can’t do that kind of stuff. The kid is very talented and he probably should be in the UFC, but that kind of stuff has to stop.

I have a great relationship with Nick. Its not like I hate Nick Diaz and I see him and we don’t talk to each other. I talk to him every time I see him, he is a good kid. But it’s the stuff afterwards, away from the Octagon, that is tough with Nick.
