At the post fight press conference a usual question for the winner of the main event is ‘what’s next?’ For Nate Diaz his win over Gray Maynard was as impressive as he’s looked in the UFC and although he lost a title fight once, he knows there is a chance for him still for another shot:
After his brutal first-round TKO of Gray Maynard (11-3-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC) in the main event of Saturday night’s TUF 18 Finale, Diaz (17-9 MMA, 12-7 UFC) showed up to the post-fight press conference and laid out his future plans as a UFC lightweight. Will he keep pushing for a fight with UFC lightweight champ Anthony Pettis? Maybe wait for a rematch with Josh Thomson or Benson Henderson, both of whom he mentioned in unflattering tones during his post-fight remarks?
I don’t know, Diaz said. I’m thinking maybe I’ll sit on the sidelines for a good long minute until somebody gets injured, then fight for a title like everybody else is doing.
Was he joking? Hard to say, which is the case with many of his recent comments.
