SAN JOSE, Calif. – Nate Diaz wants to be starting something, but what that is remains a mystery.

The UFC star spent part of Saturday afternoon signing autographs for fans lined out the door at World of Sports Memorabilia here in San Jose, Calif., and afterward he was in a good mood.

Inside a back warehouse, Diaz joked around with his crew as he signed more items for the shop’s owners. He sipped on a beer and called the shots on music being played. He laughed at a cookie made in his likeness decorated with a joint – a real one – in its mouth.

Diaz also talked about fighting, which he’s still interested in doing, contrary to UFC President Dana White’s continued assertions that he isn’t during the last year.

“I’ve been trying to get in there and get going,” Diaz told MMAjunkie. “I’ve been wanting to get in there and get going this year. I just got this lawsuit out of the way that I’ve been going through for the last two years, so I wasn’t even able to fight. So that’s all done and over, and I’m ready to get back to fighting if I’m going to be fighting anymore. …

“I’m training until there’s something good to do here.”

Something good apparently doesn’t include former two-division champion Georges St-Pierre.

“No, I’m not fighting that fight,” Diaz said.

After White announced last week that the bout was in the works for August’s UFC 227 in Los Angeles, Diaz nixed the idea and explained why in a Facebook post.

“Like I said (on Facebook), he cheated when he fought my brother (Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in 2013), so I just had to bring up old sh-t because they’re trying to brush it off like it’s nothing,” Diaz said. “I got other sh-t to do, and it was just weird because we never even really talked about it.”

So, where does this leave Diaz with the UFC?

“There was a fight I asked them for, and now that that fell through, we’re back to square one,” said Diaz, who declined to identify his opponent request.

This is an interesting time in Diaz’s career. The 33-year-old hasn’t fought since UFC 202 in August 2016, when he lost a majority decision to Conor McGregor in an all-time classic welterweight bout. The fight was a rematch of Diaz’s stunning UFC 196 submission win over McGregor – also at 170 pounds – that elevated his profile to new heights. The rematch also made Diaz millions, which he’d never earned before for a single fight.

It’s become a popular refrain from the MMA community during Diaz’s absence that all he wants is a “money fight,” specifically a trilogy with McGregor. Diaz has a response to anyone who thinks that.

“What people don’t understand is that any fight I fight is going to be a money fight,” Diaz said. “I’m not waiting for anybody. I’m just waiting for a motherf-cker to do something. Let’s get a real fight going. I’m not going to be involved in no weak sh-t.”

It would seem there’s no shortage of options, though Diaz begs to differ. A potential showdown with welterweight champion Tyron Woodley surfaced late last year, but Diaz said the UFC “dropped the ball on that fight already.”

Then there’s Eddie Alvarez and Kevin Lee. Both lightweight contenders have recently called out Diaz, but he isn’t intrigued by those names, either.

“Nobody interests me right now, but I’m interested in doing something,” Diaz said. “I don’t think the UFC wants any of those fights to happen because we haven’t been talking about none of them. So time will tell.”
