Nate Diaz Returns After Three Years

The last fight that Diaz had inside the octagon was in a losing effort against Conor McGregor. McGregor vs Diaz II saw McGregor’s hand being raised at the end. Following that Diaz went on a three-year break but had shown active signs of returning over the years. Finally, he decided to face Anthony Pettis at UFC 241.
