He continued, "Good idea, if I get f***ed up I would like to push the fight back too but people would f***ing freak out." Diaz's comments highlight a common sentiment among fighters who often face the dilemma of competing hurt versus postponing for better health.
This stance reflects his personal experiences where he’s had to make tough calls about his own fitness for fights. "I wouldn't want to fight until I'm 100% ready to rock too because in the past I've done all kinds of sh*t I shouldn't have done," Diaz added, emphasizing the importance of entering the ring fully prepared.
Concluding his thoughts, Diaz expressed confidence that the fight would eventually happen and be successful. "But I think [the fight] will happen and it will all be good," he assured, indicating optimism that the bout will take place when both fighters are at their best.
