He's baaaaaaaack.
Yes indeed, just when you thought it was safe to listen to MMA clips at work with the sound turned up, a sound censor's best friend—Nate Diaz—will return to the octagon for the first time in nearly three years when he faces Anthony Pettis at UFC 241 in Anaheim, California.
Diaz was last seen, and heard from, back in August 2016 when he lost a razor-thin majority decision to Conor McGregor in a classic rematch after Diaz upset the bratty Irishman as a late replacement five months earlier.
He's since seen a series of potential returns either snuffed out on the negotiating table or KO'd by injury, most recently when prospective foe Dustin Poirier dropped out of a UFC 230 show with a bum hip.
