Former lightweight title challenger, Nate Diaz claims he’s unlikely to feature at all on a massive UFC 300 card in April, however, for the Stockton veteran it proved not for the lack of trying on his behalf.

Diaz, a welterweight veteran and former lightweight title challenger under the UFC banner, departed the Dana White-led promotion back in 2022, following a September submission win over former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson.

Making his professional boxing debut in the time since, Diaz would land a fourth round guillotine choke win in a rallying effort against the above-mentioned fellow Ultimate Fighter winner, Ferguson, lacing up boxing gloves for a fight with Jake Paul.
