The exact location of the villa is in Paradise Valley, Arizona. Diaz is really happy to not stay in a hotel ahead of his fight.

At least I ain’t cooped in a hotel with everybody, you know,” he said further.

Houston would have been cool too, but that was closer to home and I have been there 3 times. The heights around here we can run and go do that,” he added before asking, “I didn’t see the gym. Is there a gym in here?

He was confirmed by his peers that there’s a gym in his mansion.
