NATE DIAZ decided to avenge his losses to Jake Paul and Leon Edwards after removing Jorge Masvidal from the list.
Diaz was defeated by current UFC welterweight champion Edwards in 2021 – a year after leaving the promotion.

He made his boxing debut against YouTuber turned prize fighter Paul last August, but it ended in a points defeat.
Diaz decided to stay for a rematch with Masvidal in the boxing ring after his defeat in the Octagon in 2019.
And he left with bragging rights after winning the boxing rematch by majority decision.
“I’m going to beat the fuck out of Jake Paul,” Diaz roared. “I’m ready to fight the highest ranked boxer I can find.
“My main goal has always been to be the best fighter in the world, so I want to come back and win the UFC title.
“Leon Edwards, Jake Paul and anyone else, you are dead.”
Paul, 27, reached a ten-point decision over Diaz, 39, and offered him a rematch in the cage.
The American made an offer of US$15 million together with the Professional Fighters League.
So Paul reacted quickly after being called out by Diaz.
“Fuck you, Nate Diaz, you are a bitch who dodged my $15 million MMA offer from the PFL,” Paul wrote online. “Masvidal trash too.”
Masvidal has called for a rematch following his boxing defeat, with the series level tie.
“I thought I won, I thought I hit the hardest shots,” Masvidal said.
“He hit more volume, but I definitely felt like I hit well, much better pitches.
“Win or lose, all praise to Jesus Christ, my savior. And we can do it again, we’re 1-1, so we can definitely get back in boxing.
“I felt like I won that one, we can definitely find a place to do it again.”
