Nick Diaz Teases Return Before the End of the Year, Calls Out Kamaru Usman

Former Strikeforce and World Extreme Cagefighting titleholder Nick Diaz might compete before the end of the year. Diaz (26-10, 2 NC; 7-7, 1 NC UFC) is preparing for his Ultimate Fighting Championship return and aims to compete in 2022. While an official opponent and date have yet to be revealed, the UFC superstar is undoubtedly willing to don the four-ounce gloves one more time. In a recent interview, Diaz claimed that he would like to face the current 170-pound kingpin, Kamaru Usman, if his return materializes.

“I’m working on the end of the year,” Diaz said to TMZ Sports.
