Nick Diaz Returns to MMA Training with Sean Strickland Meeting

Nick Diaz recently met Sean Strickland, and they shared a full-circle moment during their first-ever meeting at a gym.

Strickland admitted to watching Nick Diaz as a kid, saying "**When I was a kid, I used to watch you, bro. I’d be in my f*cking boxer shorts in the living room, watching you scrap**."

Diaz replied, "**Now I watch you**," showing honest admiration.

This meeting brought back memories for Strickland, and Diaz's simple reply said everything about the respect between them.

Diaz has started training at Fighterback MMA, and Strickland will get the opportunity to train with him.

Nick Diaz has begun MMA training once again, with Jake Shields posting a video of him sparring at 42 years old.

Cesar Gracie updated on March 26, 2025, that Diaz was healthy and doing well after withdrawing from a UFC 310 bout with Vicente Luque on December 7, 2024.

Diaz got married in Las Vegas last week to his long-time girlfriend Kayla and has just celebrated 1 year of sobriety.

He recently got out of rehab and is in good spirits with his new wife.

Diaz's record shows a long career with legendary moments, but recent years have been defined more by personal struggles than fighting accomplishments.

And it seems he will be back again soon, with a renewed focus on his MMA career.

But for now, he's taking it one step at a time, training and spending time with his new wife.

So, the future looks bright for Nick Diaz, with a possible return to the UFC in the works.
