It would appear that preliminary discussions are taking place for a possible match up between two mixed martial arts veterans.
Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has been hunting for a viable retirement fight for some time now. While the fighter has yet to lock down a match up, multiple sources are now confirming that preliminary discussions are underway for a possible fight between “The Count” and fellow MMA veteran Nick Diaz.
Diaz has not competed inside the octagon since 2015, having just recently come off of a year-long suspension for an anti-doping policy violation with USADA. With that in mind, the deal for a Bisping vs. Diaz match up is far from official. Both parties appear interested in the UFC’s alleged offer, hopefully leading to a legendary fight between two seasoned veterans of the sport.
