As they did last night amid a cryptic social media post from light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, eagle-eyed fans have now linked promotional veteran, Nate Diaz with a spectacular return to the Octagon at UFC 300 next year – amid a post on the Stockton’s social accounts.
Diaz, a former lightweight title challenger under the banner of the UFC, departed the Dana White-led promotion back in November of last year officially, following the completion of his contractual obligations with the organization.
In his Octagon swansong, however, Nate Diaz snapped a two-fight losing skid with a stunning rallying win over former interim lightweight title chaser, Tony Ferguson – submitting the Oxnard native with a fourth round guillotine choke in their impromptu UFC 279 headliner.
