The pride of Stockton took to the Octagon for the first time in a year on Saturday night and put on a vintage Diaz brothers performance. The lightweight jabbed, stuck, moved, and taunted his way to a unanimous decision victory over a flustered Michael Johnson in a lightweight bout at UFC on FOX 17 in Orlando.
The judges' scores were 29-28 across the board in favor of Nick Diaz's little brother.
Johnson (16-10), a Blackzilians fighter, had his best round in the first, as he used leg kicks mixed with body kicks and slick combos to keep Diaz from finding his rhythm.
