Diaz, the Season 5 winner of “The Ultimate Fighter” who in 2012 challenged for the 155-pound title, tweeted at White and the UFC late this past month that he’d like out of his contract. But on Friday, White said he hadn’t heard anything about Diaz supposedly wanting to be released.
“He hasn’t called me,” White said following the weigh-ins for UFC Fight Night 37 at O2 Arena in London. “Is that how we do these things? You tweet? The answer would be no, (I would not let him out).”
“He just signed a new contract that he was happy with a month ago,” White said of Nate Diaz. “That’s definitely not controversial for the Diaz brothers – that’s called normal. I’ve got 500 guys under contract, and there’s always something. Every day when I wake up, there’s something.”
