In an email to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com), Nick Diaz rep Jonathan Tweedale today the fighter has not received an offer to return to the octagon. On Wednesday, BJPenn Radio quoted longtime Diaz trainer Cesar Gracie , who said the onetime title challenger had been communicating with the UFC in Las Vegas and that there was ” an offer on the table ” from the promotion that included a potential fight against an unspecified opponent. “Dana has offered him a fight,” Gracie said. “There is an offer on the table, I can’t say who it is, but it’s kind of neat I think. But no decision’s have been made for sure.” In a brief interview today with MMAjunkie.com, however, Gracie downplayed the seriousness of the talks and stressed that, contrary to several media reports, no new contract had been offered, because Diaz was already under contract with the promotion. “I was misquoted by BJPenn.com,” he said. “There’s no bout agreement.
