The Stockton native fought for the belt once in his career, where he suffered a a lightweight title loss to Benson Henderson back in 2012. However, according to UFC President Dana White, a victory over Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 279 could change that. Diaz and White have been at odds lately with the Stockton native being on the last fight of his contract.

White even suggested that Diaz should box against Jake Paul, while Diaz responded by asking for release. Speaking with John Morgan of MMA Underground, the UFC president was asked if the UFC 279 matchup is a potential number one contender fight if Chimaev is able to secure the victory. White stated that it was, but surprised fans when he unprovokedly added Diaz to the mix:
"I mean, obviously, if Nate beat Khamzat Chimaev, the number three guy in the world, you'd have to look at Nate too.

https://t.co/jfAtzfakaU Diaz knows a thing about UFC upsets, however, and shouldn't be counted out. Although, as Chimaev alluded to above, Diaz may not be the same fighter, he was a heavy underdog when he handed Conor McGregor his first UFC loss at UFC 196.

Diaz could very well have been fighting for the belt as he nearly put Leon Edwards away in the fifth-round of their UFC 263 matchup. Many fans still wonder why the 37-year-old decided to taunt rather than attack his dazed opponent.
