“That’s an option, the UFC,” Diaz said (h/t MMA Junkie). “I would like to (return). At the end of the day, I’d like to go back and fight for a world title. If not, I’m going to have to make my own world title and make the best come to me. I would like to be back in the UFC or fight the belt holders in boxing, also. Right now, the UFC has the best fighters in the world and have for years. I’m trying to fight the best.”
