Nate Diaz Defeats Anthony Pettis Via Decision in Return from 3-Year UFC Hiatus

Nate Diaz is back. The Stockton, California native picked up a unanimous decision win over Anthony Pettis in the co-main event of UFC 241.

Diaz utilized relentless pressure and his signature cardio to simply outwork his opponent over the course of three rounds and convince all three judges he was the victor.

The performance is Diaz's first appearance in the Octagon since his loss to Conor McGregor in their massive UFC 196 bout.

Diaz defeated McGregor via submission in their first bout but followed it up with a decision loss the second time out.
