Jay Hieron Just Wants His Title Shot

Not many fighters take a pass when the UFC leaves an offer on their doorstep. Jay Hieron did, not because the UFC didn't give him a good offer, but because Strikeforce wanted him, needed him, for a title shot against Nick Diaz.

But as soon as he committed to that shot, Diaz stripped it away from him, not going through the necessary steps to get licensed for the fight.

"I went with Strikeforce for the title shot. It's not necessarily they're fault, what happened. Now, Nick Diaz, I'm calling Strikeforce every week going, 'What's up with my title shot?'" He told Steve Cofield of ESPN 1100 radio.

"Diaz is (expletive) around. He's trying to box now and all this and that.

"That's the fight outside the UFC that makes the most sense for a world title fight. There's no other fighter really that makes sense. I want a legit contender for the title. I want to beat somebody with a name and that's Nick Diaz."
