Nick Diaz’s 18-month suspension is over, and he’s eligible to get back in the cage for the UFC.

After Tyron Woodley (16-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) upset Robbie Lawler (27-11 MMA, 12-5 UFC) to win the welterweight title this past Saturday at UFC 201 in Atlanta, one of the names he said he’d be interesting in fighting was Diaz (26-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC) – and quickly, at UFC 202 later this month in Las Vegas.

Woodley ultimately shifted his focus to Georges St-Pierre (23-2 MMA 19-2 UFC) – snubbing Stephen Thompson (13-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) – but that doesn’t mean Diaz would turn down a fight with the new champ. He just doesn’t think it’s likely.

“I always want to fight the best guys, but the thing is, I’m on top,” Diaz told TMZ Sports. “I’m the one on top. They’re dropping my name. I don’t need no fake-ass piece of plastic (belt). … Everybody wants to do a fight with me – champions at 170, champions at 185.

” … If they make me an offer I can’t refuse, (I’ll fight). But I doubt that’s going to happen. Look at me right now. I don’t owe nobody nothing. I don’t owe nobody (expletive). I haven’t been fanatical about fighting since I was 15, 14, since I was 8 years old.”

Diaz, a onetime title challenger, has been cleared to fight after serving an 18-month suspension for his third positive marijuana test, which stemmed from a fight with Anderson Silva at UFC 183 in January 2015. Initially, Diaz was suspended five years, but the overseeing Nevada State Athletic Commission reversed course and shortened the punishment.

Diaz’s younger brother, Nate Diaz (19-10 MMA, 14-8 UFC), headlines UFC 202 against featherweight champ Conor McGregor (19-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) in a redo of their welterweight blockbuster at UFC 196. UFC 202 takes place Aug. 20 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with a main card on pay-per-view.
