Nick Diaz Wishes He’d Accepted Boxing Contract

Nick Diaz spoke recently about regretting his decisions in regards to his fighting career. Originally offered a boxing contract, Diaz chose to instead continue with his Strikeforce contract.

Though Diaz initially showed a desire to try his hand at entering the boxing ring, now with the constant change ups to his bout at the UFC 137 pay-per-view event, Diaz isn’t feeling as though he made the right decision:

“If I had my chance to do it over again, I would have gone back to the boxing contract.”

“I would have took my punches, win or lose. Just done my job: fight and get paid.”

“I’m sure [the UFC] would have had me back here, or somewhere. You want to see a pro boxer fight MMA, and then you have yourself a high-level pro boxer that’s coming back. So in my opinion – I don’t really think about it until it’s all over with – but I figure I would have made plenty of money here, and then would have made more money later.

“It definitely would have worked out if I had done what I had set out to do.”
