Nate Diaz is finally set to return to the Octagon when he takes on Anthony Pettis in the co-main event of UFC 241.
It has been nearly three years since his last appearance, a majority decision loss to Conor McGregor at UFC 202 in August 2016. And although many are reluctant to believe that the Stockton, Calif., native will actually return, he assures everyone he is indeed fighting on Aug. 17 in Anaheim.
Not only is he excited to return to the Octagon, but Diaz explained why Pettis is an ideal opponent.
