After clearing up his issues with the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Nick Diaz is finally free to compete inside the octagon once again. But the former Strikeforce welterweight champion won’t return to action unless it’s for the right price.

Current UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley, recently told Luke Thomas of MMAfighting.com that Diaz was offered a 170 pound title shot at UFC 209, but the Stockton, California native turned the bout down because he wanted more money.

UFC President Dana White also confirmed that Diaz was offered a fight on the UFC 209 card but refused to provide details on why the bout was not accepted.

Woodley has been calling for a ‘money fight’ against Nick Diaz ever since he won the title from Robbie Lawler at UFC 201, but Diaz does not seem interested. Tyron Woodley will instead attempt to defend his welterweight championship against Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson on March 4th, in a rematch of their UFC 205 title bout, which ended in a majority draw.

Diaz (26-9-2) has not won a bout since October of 2011 and is currently on a three fight losing streak, although one of those losses was later overturned into a no contest. Despite his shaky record of late the UFC still offered him a title shot and will likely give him a marquee match up against a top opponent when he decides to return.
