Diaz's last fight was a TKO loss to the legendary Robbie Lawler at UFC 266. He was set to face Vicente Luque in 2024 but had to withdraw due to travel complications.

When asked about his past struggles with substance abuse, Diaz displayed resilience, saying, 'I wouldn’t have made it this far if I thought there was something that could stop me. Substance abuse, right or wrong, I’m confident I’ll improve every year, every day.'
Diaz's dedication to his craft is evident as he resumes training with his longtime friend and teammate, Jake Shields, in California. While his relationship with brother Nate Diaz remains strained, the possibility of both brothers fighting again in the future is intriguing.
