Nate Diaz returned to mixed martial arts for the first time in nearly four years on May 16 in the MVP MMA: Rousey vs. Carano co-main event. The former UFC title challenger took on Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship’s “King of Violence” Mike Perry and suffered a largely one-sided TKO loss.
Diaz released a statement via social media on Tuesday breaking his silence for the first time since the defeat.

“I wasn’t happy with my inactivity, but a lack of opponents will do that,” Diaz wrote on Instagram. “It was easy to get up for me in this fight. Now I think it’ll be even easier to get up for him. Either way, shoutout to Mike on the win and for getting me off my ass.
“Now I’ve got a target. Hunting season. Take the motherf**ker out.”
