Nick Diaz offers to step in on short notice to fight Leon Edwards at UFC 269

UFC veteran Nick Diaz isn’t done just yet.

Questions loom over his future in the UFC following his TKO defeat to Robbie Lawler at UFC 266 but the MMA legend wants to return to the octagon on Dec. 11 to take on Leon Edwards.

That’s at least what Diaz seemed to hint at when he said ‘put me in’ in response to Brett Okamoto’s Instagram post about Khamzat Chimaev wanting to step in on short notice for an injured Jorge Masvidal at UFC 269.

“Put me in,” Diaz, who remains one of the most enigmatic figures in the sport, posted on Thursday.
