Watch the full fight highlights here: Is Nate Diaz going to join Bellator As mentioned, Nate Diaz's UFC contract came to an end after beating Tony Ferguson at UFC 279 earlier this month. The MMA legend is now a free agent and Scott Coker is seemingly interested in signing Diaz. The Stockton based fighter has never competed under the Bellator banner. He has fought in various other organizations such as WEC, Strikeforce, Pancrase and the UFC during his professional MMA career. Speaking to the media about signing Diaz, the CEO of Bellator stated: "Well here's the thing. My guys reached out to the [Diaz] management and their manager came back and said, 'Look, he still has an exclusive negotiation period.' And so, let's see how that plays out." Watch the full Scott Coker interview here: Coker stated that Bellator has reached out to Diaz, but the 37-year-old is currently under an exclusive negotiation period from the UFC. This has seemingly slowed down any potential return for Diaz. But Coker was open-minded as to how the situation might play out in the future. Nate Diaz lost three of his last five UFC bouts, but he former champions in Anthony Pettis and Tony Ferguson. However, the 37-year-old lost three contests against Conor McGregor, Jorge Masvidal, and most recently Leon Edwards.
