Chael Sonnen vs Anderson Silva 1 At UFC 117 Announced To Be Inducted Into The UFC Hall Of Fame

Last week it was revealed that Nate Diaz's last fight on his UFC deal would take place in September at UFC 279 where he will face arguably the toughest test of his career against the hottest prospect in MMA, Khamzat Chimaev.

This will be the last time Diaz competes in the UFC as he has made it clear for many months now that he intends to not sign another contract with the UFC.

Now that Diaz's last UFC fight has a date, this will give other fighting promotions such as BKFC and Bellator to plan out potential fights for Diaz and put offers on the table for him in the future.

Bellator president Scott Coker has been openly expressing his interest in bringing Diaz to Bellator for a very long time now and yesterday another president of a fighting organisation also showed interest in Diaz.

David Feldman who is the president of BKFC has revealed he thinks Diaz would be a very good fit in BKFC and that he has interest in bringing him into the promotion when his contract is up.

If this move does happen it will be interesting to see how Diaz fairs considering how much damage he has taken in his career.
