WATCH: UFC Announces Nate Diaz Return
One of Stockton’s finest is getting a hero’s welcome, as the UFC released a promo video hyping the return of Nate Diaz at UFC 241.
Diaz, who has been inactive since his UFC 202 loss to Conor McGregor, to that point the most successful fight in UFC history, has been looking for a major payday and a major opponent for an Octagon return.
He gets the opponent in Anthony Pettis, when the two face off on August 17th at the Honda Center, possibly as the co-main event to Daniel Cormier’s defense of the UFC heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic.
