Nate Diaz calls for massive Octagon comeback at UFC 300 in title fight rematch against Leon Edwards

Claiming there was currently nobody available for him to fight in what would come as a massive return to the Octagon at UFC 300 next year, former lightweight title chaser, Nate Diaz has now apparently identified a pairing with welterweight champion, Leon Edwards, calling for a title rematch.

Diaz, a perennial contender under the banner of the UFC, departed the Dana White-led promotional banner back in November of last year, following the completion of his contractual obligations with the promotion.

Making a professional boxing debut back in August of this year, Stockton native, Nate Diaz headlined a pay-per-view event in Dallas, Texas, suffering a unanimous decision loss to the outspoken, Jake Paul in the pair’s long-rumored pairing.
