Dana White: We’re working on a fight for Nate Diaz in 2021 and ‘I think you’re gonna like it’

Nate Diaz could be returning to the UFC much sooner than we think, according to Dana White.

The UFC president was sparse on details but teased that 2021 could be an exciting year for the younger Diaz brother.

White ruled out former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson as a potential opponent but hinted that Diaz’ next fight will ‘put him in a really good position’ at 155 pounds.

Dana White to @oscarswillis: "We're working on a Nate Diaz fight right now (at) lightweight... It would put him in a really good position if he won the fight and the guy who he could potentially be fighting, I think it's a great fight for him too.
