A professional athlete’s window to earn a substantial income is very small. Feel free to subtract several years from that timeline if you’re an MMA fighter. White claims to understand Diaz’s frustration, but he would be baffled if the former Strikeforce champion opted to walk away at this point in time.
I think that if he retired, it’d be the most insane thing I’ve seen in my life, White stated following Tuesday’s press conference. The kid, right now, is at the pinnacle of his career. As far as his talent goes, as far as being a well-rounded fighter – he’s mean and nasty and people love him and his popularity has never been bigger.
He’s right at the point where he could get a huge fight. It would be insane, but who knows?
